RE: [cobalt-users] Re: Future of Cobalt

Ok,

	Looks are nice, this looks like an excellent
solution for a GUI and dedicated box handler...

	So the question becomes:  I've looked at
Ensim's site front to back.  Who has dedicated,
unmanaged hosting/co-lo's with RaQ4's and Ensim
on the box?  Even throw in Miva Merchant on-board
if possible?

	I'd like to test-throw a current RaQ4 in 
another facility that's been ransacked by Interland
recently to another NOC, but it can't be just anyone
and reasonable pricing is another goal. 

	All the solutions providers I saw on Ensim's
site had either Windows or RH Linux custom boxes vs
Sun/Cobalt hardware.  While everyone will banter
about as to 'why keep the cheesebox?' until we're
all blue in the face (pun intended), I've found the
RaQ 3/4 series to more than accomplish the tasks
we've slapped on it.  And I'd rather not mess with
a large conversion/learning curve of a RH Linux 
box for troubleshooting (like Cobalt OS wasn't
enough???) with my workload, not to mention all
the custom items we've managed to get working on
our RaQ's that would need re-tweaking on straight
Linux custom box.

	Anyone have recommendations for NOC/Co-Lo/
Hosting providers using RaQ4/Ensim combos?
