Review: IT in a Box ably serves small business needs. I call her ITina, short for IT in a Box IT-100. She's a petite little number, smaller than my laptop computer, stylishly cased in grey and adorned with colorful LEDs. She's a Linux-based server with a wide range of capabilities. Though she's a classy package, she's neither high-priced, at $1,395, nor high-maintenance. [NewsForge] 12:46:56 PM
