I'm also greatly impressed by Carrie's HOW-TO. I'd very much like to
install much of the security programs Carrie describes, but how do I
ensure there's enough space on my RaQ?

I've just started out with a RaQ4 with a 20GB HD, and installed
OpenSSH and upgraded MySQL to version 3.32 a few days ago. In the
process I used up almost all the available space in the operating
system/programs partition and active monitor started to squeal... I
had downloaded source files to /usr/src, and done the 'make' there,
and so I could delete these so that active monitor would calmed down.
The 'programs' partition seems only to be 920 MB. Should I move some
files into 'home' and simlink them? And if so, which ones are
recommended? Or should I adopt some other approach to getting these
programs installed?

One other small query... I have read quite a bit on this list about
using SSH in place of Telnet. Does it go without saying that people
are also administering their RaQs using the GUI, but through SSH
(opening the SSH port and 'tunneling port 81' as at the end of
http://www.cobalt.com/support/kb/search.php3?ques=ssh&qid=534&language
=1)? I guess so but haven't heard anything on the list about that.
Rather foolish if one doesn't (I haven't yet!), since I guess one
would be bolting one door while leaving the other wide open?!
