I have complaints about our Windows server, our Mac OS X desktops and sure
on the RaQ and even an occasional Debian rant. But in ranting about the
problem (counterproductive at times) still seems to get folks on the list to
say, look try this and this and soon you are feeling okay because problem
solved.

Well I am sure we all can list the positives. And I think there are many. If
the neg where more then the pos, I am sure those that had issues would have
dumped them long ago.

Was the Cobalt the Apple answer to Web Hosting. Point-Click-Save and done,
no need to worry what lies underneath. The programmers did all the hard
stuff.

Cobalt's are aimed at the new user and non-linux market as well as the
seasoned Linux user, but more on the low end. Expecting All Cobalt users to
have a stack of Linux books is ludicrous.
