Salt Lake City, UT — (press release excerpt) — the uClinux-based 'SnapGear Lite' has Linux Journal magazine's 2002 Editor's Choice Award for best server appliance.

Linux Journal stated: “Our April 2002 review of the SnapGear Lite concluded that for the price and functionality, it can't be beat. Besides firewall and NAT, this handy device also functions as a VPN client to protect any kind of network traffic easily.” The winning products were the SnapGear LITE/LITE+ VPN Firewall appliances. An honorable mention was given to Sun Microsystems for their Cobalt Qube.

Full details of the awards will be featured in the September 2002 issue of Linux Journal.
