hmmm...
I was thinking about it. Do you think is the best choice? Or the only one? 8^)

ps. My first impression was exactly this: I couldn't install RaQ OS in a 
ordinary computer... but I didn't know wich Red Hat version was the right...

I will do that... but after installing the Red Hat v6.2 how can I do to 
install all packages that are installed in my RaQ4? I think I couldn't use 
the cobalt .pkg's... Does I need to do it manually (it's a hard option)?
