Re: [cobalt-users] Is There A Real Difference w/ The RAQ4??

["LightSpeedServers.Net" <admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So in that case if you had the OS for the RAQ4 - you could indeed purchase
the bottom of the line RAQ3 and have basically the same system for far less.
That would explain why cobalt is trying not to release the RAQ4 OS.

However, that brings up a point eluded to before.  How do we know when we
lease these servers we are getting an RAQ3 or an RAQ4.  Even w/o the OS it
is an easy task to mirror the hard drives!

And unfortunetly, I am in three lawsuits against various internet companies
already so I know all too well that many unethical businesses will do
something crooked and sneaky like that.

How can we check.  I know the difference probably would not matter - but for
me its an issue of ethics and professionalism.  If I pay for an RAQ4 how do
I know I have an RAQ4?  And not a modified RAQ3.  Any clues?

Thank you,
