Yep, you are right, I am in Turkey, and by the time I deal with customs in 
each direction and shipping it would cost me close to $700 per qube to ship 
them to the US and back. Not really worth it :-)

As far as soldering and unsoldering, I am happy to do so on my own equipment 
but not on my customer's.

So I understand from this that I am stuck with the Qube 3 OS.
I am aware that Sun has released the source code for the Qube 3, but have the 
released the full build environment? I am considering rolling my own updated 
ISOs.

Also is there any tool like "apt" or "autorpm" for Cobalt?

If i understand the design of the qube correctly it apt4rpm should work fine 
to keep the underlying OS up to date, but the sausalito interface would not 
see the rpm patches as being applied.
Does sausalito have any kind of dependency system that would allow apt to be 
ported to it directly?

Cheers from snowy Istanbul
