Thanks for the posts over the last couple months about what exactly a
Qube 2 could and could not do, how much I could trust it, etc.
I looked at the capabilities of the CobaltOS, looked at NetBSD 1.6.1,
and NetBSD finally won out. I can put in a big HD, have a much more
secure box, many more up-to-date services, and there are 4000+
ready-to-use sources via pkgsrc which seem very current, and many many
precompiled binaries ready to install for NetBSD. I've been worried
about the services especially and it was like a weight coming off my
shoulders to look at the NetBSD software and see the latest versions of
Proftpd, sendmail, etc. etc. sitting there, ported, ready to go, all
up-to-date.

I've been thinking of doing the same thing. Is there a web management
interface similar to Cobalt's available for NetBSD? I'd like a more
up-to-date OS on my XTR, but have to maintain the GUI administration for
others that don't like CLI's.
