No, The Qube3 is newer. And the two systems have completely different
purposes. While I agree that ipchains should have been included in the
Raq line (and are included in generic linux, of course), my
understanding is that the Qube's firewall is designed to act as a
bridge, protecting an internal network. The RaQ is a web-server
appliance; it's firewall needs are quite different.
