You seem to have a bit of a negitive view of the little blue boxes???  I
don't like that php was used myself and I think it was a bad choice on their
part.  But it can be updated in a variety of ways depending on your needs...

On the note of Ensim, Plesk, and cpanel..  I work with them all.. (I don't
want to however) and they all suck in their own ways... none have even come
close to touching cobalt... and in fact.. the update systems are the worst I
have ever seen...  They make the pkg format look like the greatest thing
since sliced bread...

The RaQ line is clearly still the best written hosting system in it's price
range..  and in the world of hosting for the small bussiness it has and
continues to set a standard that other companies are still trying to
achive...  Why they haven't is beyond me....

Myself I have rebuilt the software for several models of RaQ and so I
understand what, why, and how the RaQ was created...  Simply put... the
Cobalts are still the only professional linux based hosting appliances
around...  and I can make them sing and live as long as I want...
