I personally don't wait for Cobalt - I change stuff myself. But then again,
I don't use my RaQ like an "appliance" - I use it like a normal UNIX system
(Why a RaQ? It's all I could get for a price I could justify. If I had my
druthers, I'd have a FreeBSD system, or if running Linux, Debian).

However, ev1.net (my dialup ISP) has been running quite a large virtual
webhosting business with CobaltRaQs and they have been succesful at it. I
used their virtual webhosting for about a year without any problems at all,
so I don't think the RaQ is quite as bad as that ;-)
