You shouldn't screw your box because they won't install.

The install process asks the Qube what it is and as soon as it reports that
its a Gateway it exits the install process.

Depending on what you want to do with the Microserver, you might like to
consider using a Qube2 OS Restore CD on it and turn it into a Black Qube2.

The Gateway Microserver does have some features which the Qube2 doesn't
(i.e. its a Qube2.5) so be prepared to lose some capability.

Cheers,  Malcolm
