"Development tools

The RaQ 3 provides a collection of utilities to support applications
development and server administration. These tools include:
? GNU C/C++ compiler (gcc) and libraries
? Java Run-time Environment
? GNU Bourne Again Shell (bash)
? Text editors (emacs, vi, pico)
? File system utilities (ls, mv, cp, ln, rm, chmod, chown, chgrp, du, df)
? File parsing utilities (sed, awk, diff)
? File display utilities (cat, more, less)
? Search utilities (find, grep, which)
? Archive utilities (gzip, tar, cpio, rpm)
? Network utilities (FTP, telnet, netstat, ping, finger, mail, pine)
? Perl programming language

These utilities can be found in one of the following directories:
/sbin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/usr/bin

For an expanded set of development tools, visit the Solutions directory on
Cobalt Networks? web site (http://www.cobalt.com/solutions/) Additionally,
the Linux distribution on the RaQ 3 is based on the RedHat Linux 6.0
distribution for x86-compatible processor systems.

You can run most pre-compiled x86-based commercial software packages on the
RaQ 3, as long as the software does not require a mouse, keyboard or
monitor. Ensure that the software is compatible with the Linux 2.2 kernel
and the glibc library."
