One of the biggest advantages is the low cost of hardware allows you to
maintain spare systems, reducing the time to service restoration in the
event of failure.  Dependability-wise, I feel that whitebox Linux systems
are pretty much at Cisco levels these days, especially if running
in-memory.

With your guidance, I can put together a gentoo environment that will
run in memory
tailored for this purpose, and would be obliged to share it with the
community if
anyone else is interested.
