I had a quick look at it and the result is
quite poor considering the time it took them to get it done.

They had to install quite a few packages (perl, python27, libX11, avahi
...) and modified the stock FreeBSD image quite a bit. At startup they send
an arping otherwise you do not even have network access in their network.
This looks all a bit hackish and error prone. I am really wondering how
long it will take that a regular update breaks their scripts and let's you
back with a non accessible box.
