That's our main concern...but what I fail to fathom is the obvious
great success of the RaQ's (as server appliances) and the apparent lack
of interest from Sun to maintain a lucrative "side business". If Sun
had no intention of continuing the RaQ line, why did they purchase it
in the first place? I can't possibly imagine that Cobalt "appliances"
were perceived as a serious threat to the Solaris platform....but maybe
this is neither the time or place....I'll take you advice and join the
forum you mentioned....
