Will this cause any problems with the Qube 3 if I use the Raq 550 OS?
Are there any gotchas I need to know about? I have approx 20 new customers 
with existing (Somewhat dodgey) Qube 3 installations, so if this is the way 
to go, I would upgrade them all over the next few months.

Is there any way I can export the user/passwd list from sausalito on the Qube 
3 systems and import that into a new Raq 550 install (or even a clean Qube 3 
install)? I am happy (glad even) to resetup and configure all of the 
operating system, but having to manually re-add users and get them to setup 
new passwords is not really an option.

I appologise if these questions are really basic/stupid. I have been using 
Linux for 10 years but this whole sausalito thing for only the last 4 days.
I have read all the FAQs I could get my hands on, if anyone feels like telling 
me to RTFM thats fine, just point me at which Manual :-)

Thanks.

Is there a centralised site setup for community built security updates for 
Cobalt EOLed products??

Yes. I have had 4 of those so far this week. My wife is not particularly happy 
with me working on Valentines Day :-)
