My main concern with unixshell has been CPU.  From what I can tell,
1MB of RAM in their packages maps to about 1 bogomips of CPU, which in
turn maps (very roughly, of course) to about 1Mhz of x86 CPU - so a
unixshell-96 isn't guaranteeing any better performance than you would
get from a Pentium 100.  The small amount of benchmarking I've done on
a unixshell-192 seems to bear this out.  So while I'd use those boxes
for mail or mainly static sites (I use one for a wordpress blog and
it's been fine), I wouldn't expect to run many Squeak/Seaside apps on
them.
