One must install the OS; whether that is OpenWRT, OpenBSD or whatever OS. This means that one needs to be quite familiar with the OS install. So, one probably needs to be a technical person. The one I got had x64 intel based CPU, so it should run just about any linux or BSD distribution. The one that I got has a serial port for the console (no VGA, HDMI, display port etc).
