I for one would will not be biting. As a serious system administrator "nice GUI interface" and "network edge device" are mutually incompatible---the nice GUI interface presumably militates against careful minimised installations with just the software and services required.

Carefully minimised boxen are not subject to vast numbers of security problems becuase the affected software is not installed. It also has the nice property of creating usability problems for those that do own the box anyway.
