Cobalt would void your warrenty and support contract if you tinkered with the box at all. I was looking for a server where the vendor doesn't care if you decide to install Windows Me on the thing. My only real experience with server hardware unfortunately is with these Cobalts and my own rolled HW, so my perspective is a bit different. I did manage to get Debian Linux built on one of the Raq4's (I even think I asked this list for some assisstance about a year back, no replies though...) but it was a nightmare and Cobalt will not support the box and its warrenty is now void. No matter now because Debian is on it and it's more stable than it ever was, but if I wasn't able to finish the install, I had a completely worthless 1U server running nothing. > Webmin seems to be popular.

I have my own that I use in my hosting environment. It's not complete, but it suits my purposes. My hope is that the guy I'm doing this for will pay me to finish up my custom CP for use on his new server. > We buy a lot of our hardware at mwave.com.

I had great luck with mwave until recently, got a bad video card. Was bound to happen sooner or later.
