Of course when you do that all you have is a proprietary piece of hardware 
with generic software and no support from anyone <frown>.

If you really don't want the Cobalt interface, and you're going to do this, 
you'd be much better off selling the RAQ3i and doing something generic.

I can supply intel clones with RH6.1 beginning at about us$600, and that's 
not barebones either; these are good server-class systems.  And no, I'm not 
trying to sell you anything; I'm sure you could do as well locally.

That said, there are a lot of advantages to going the appliance route.  A 
lot of disadvantages, too, though.
