Eon is the Swiss army knife of Linux appliances.
It is built on the proposition that a single cheap Linux box can replace everything from routers to card readers to cash registers to thin clients, depending on what software is loaded on it. The Eon platform and NeoLinux, our embedded Linux, and a suite of management tools lets you manage, configure and even upgrade them across the net. It is so standard, in fact, that Neoware sells the same box, loaded with Windows CE, as the NeoStation 3000C, a thin client for Windows applications. Since Eon and NeoLinux just debuted in April, few products have been released, but the concept seems to be attracting attention. The company also announced its first Windows CE thin clients at the beginning of the year.
