I must say, Dennis, this is easy talk from your side.
On the other hand I see again and again that people
in these lists talk about where to get the cheapest
RaQ and they argue about 200 bucks difference.
And then the arguments that Cobalt support is
not responding (for free of course) in "due time".

And and and.

If you want to run the latest Kernel, why don't you
build your own system and put in your personal
programs and procedures to maintain the machine?

One Kernel revision back is not bad, really not bad
in my opinion. And the development staff (her it was
Tim) is allready testing the newest one. I repeat: that's
really NOT BAD.

And I know what I'm talking about, I did *some*
OS- and compiler-development and system-software
QA in my life.


The Cobalt guys may have their dark spots, I don't
argue about that, but Dennis your comment about
the kernel revision was rather childish.
