Yes, putting together a setup like this isn't difficult. What's hard is
making it usable remotely. I have a server on a T1 but VNCing from my
home via our Cable internet provider can be very laggy at times. I
really can't say this enough times: "If you don't have physical or LAN
access to the server then be ready to build administrative interfaces
and develop a deployment technique which ensures no or few errors." On
the other hand it isn't that hard to set it up and test it with one or
two customers. I just wouldn't try to sell it as a "general Seaside
solution" without a lot of tools added. LiveWire looks like a very
promising part of such a toolset.
