Hi Dan !

This thing really pisses you off - doesn't it ?
I can fully understand that.

When I bought the RaQ I thought the same from reading the advertisings.
And now I find myself reading 3 lists every day which takes around one 
hour or so. I find myself looking for security aspects on other places: 
next hour gone. I am installing new things every week or so from source 
because one of the customers likes to have it: add some more hours.

Don't get me wrong on this: I am not complaining about this - I am just 
stating it. I really like my job and I appreciate a lot the amounts of 
interesting things I learned over the last weeks. But:

It is simply not true, that you can run a cobalt server with no 
knowledge of Linux !
