Hi Jay !

You will love chewing it :-)))
If you are like me then you buy a RaQ to have your own dedicated
server and you'll have no trouble running it since you'll find yourself
much too stupid to understand all this Linux stuff. So you think:
'Hey this RaQ is just what I need - easy using - just like windoze'

And then:
You'll find yourself in trouble since you want to run php4. And you
start reading and reading and spending the nights on manuals and
when you finally found an installation script for your php, you find 
that it does not contain png of ftp-support or ...
And you start to read man-pages ...

And if you are lucky you'll end up as someone who understands 
what he is doing (Linux) and soon you will love ./configure make
make install
;-)

Don't worry - you will love your RaQ !
