I have attempted to do nothing unusual
with my Qube.

I have, however, found the web interface to
be limiting and problematic.

There are many standard things that cannot
be done easily on a Qube, and it is often
not obvious exactly what the interface is
trying to do.

The documentation is completely inadequate.

While we have got most things up and
running, I would think twice before ordering
a Qube for a client.

Considering that normal Linux documentation
simply does not apply to the Qube, we may
well have been better simply setting up a
normal RedHat box.

Just my $0.02,
