Hi Jonathan,

Try this: (SHH/Telnet - root)
    /usr/local/sbin/cobalt_gestalt |more

It will return load of intersting stuff about the box! (does on a Raq3)

If its a Raq 3 it will say stuff like this: (my comments = <<<<< bla bla bla)
    SERIAL NUMBER = blablalba
    CPU0 MODEL = AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor
    CPU0 MHZ = 298.807231     <<<<<< 300Mhz = Raq3
    .....
    UPTIME = 6 min            <<<<< hehe
    MEMORY = 63152 kB         <<<<< Not very much really <g>
    VIRTUAL MEMORY = 131536 kB
    LANGUAGE = en_US
    REVISION = 3.148
    MODEL = 3000R             <<<<<< Model Number (I beleive)
    .....
    COBALT SOFTWARE = [All-Kernel_i386 Release 1.1] [Cobalt OS Release 5.0] [RaQ3-All-Security Release 4.0.1-8532]
......lots and lots and lots more releases <sniped>
