It's so easy a caveman can do it!

This little guy currently:

  • Meets the Untangle Server hardware requirements (verify).
  • Comes with Ubuntu pre-installed—and for $200 bucks.

AND, for free, you can "skin it"!

To personalize your Untangle Server:

  1. Go to ZaReason, Inc., and buy a Shuttle KPC.
  2. Choose and download a MyKover. The cover downloads as an MS Word file.
  3. Customize your cover by applying any of the following to your cover:
    • Company things. Logo, Contact information
    • Functional things. Account #, Serial #, Mac address, IP address, Hostname
    • Personal things. Family picture, favorite poem or dilbert strip
  4. Do one of the following:
    • Print the cover on paper.
    • (Resellers) Print the cover on vinly.
  5. Remove your KPC's faceplace, install your MyKover, and reapply the faceplate. A few screws—that's all there is to it!
