Not really as both are web based utilites I mean just a stripped out Ubuntu with just samba and backup configuration tool any maybe a little more. I think ebox and easy business server are brilliant for me and you but not for joe public, who wants something easy to use, and linux gives them something to be proud of.
Back to my comment about everyone, obviously not everyone but noone has a bad word to say about linux and would try it don't meet many folk who like Microsoft, just the people who are doing a job not actually into computers its cool to use linux!! And its cool to be a geek!!

Pretty much already done:- https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntu-easy-business-serv er https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ebox :) The plan is for Ubuntu to release a server product which achieves many of the goals for a small office / home office product, with an easy to use admin tool.
