Looks like it's a deal being offered through thedailybeast site. I don't trust either.

lifetime anything is a gimmick of course. but don't conflate your issues.

Yes, C@C did not do web hosting, it's anything that offers "lifetime" that gets associated with them.

Reading it, I'm not sure he meant to group them together. I think that he was just making a point about the lifetime joke thing.

Pertino anyone? Another unrelated, but "lifetime" product already looking like it is going away for the lifetime users.

So, is this Samsung's own distro of Linux?

He's not responded yet as to how he did it. Hopefully it is something simple and stable.

[StrongBad]

That's a big improvement. Hopefully we will see whatever they did make it into the production release. Maybe they can optimize QoS as well.
