RE: [cobalt-users] Raq4 verses Linux PC

The BIG advantage of the Cobalt RAQ's is that ALL the software is allready
configured.
For me it's easy. I open the box, plug the RAQ into my HUB and it's working.
It takes  me 15 minutes to set it up.

OK, you can use a normal PC and install the software by yourself. But, how
many hours are you working to compile, configure and test all the different
softwares.

When you calculate ALL those hours , your PC-configuration is NOT so cheap
....

what does anyone think of ENSIM software for servers ?
so far, I have been happy with it.  Only got 2 servers running with it
though, but
it seems to work well for most hosting applications.
