  1. Box is generally referred to a Computer which you are currently working on. It can sometimes be used in different shades .

    Linux box would be a computer running on linux.

    just a computer world silly lingo.

    Like a DOS Box is an old computer without enough memory, or disk space, or other capabilities to run any other operating system other than DOS. or  Maggotbox  which is a derogatory term for a Macintosh computer.


  2. It can mean server or computer. because they are kinda in boxes hah
