Whole-heartedly agreed.  I know that I've said it before plenty of 
times, and at the risk of sounding like a "hardware snob", there just is 
not any benefit to trying to run BlueQuartz or BlueOnyx on a RaQ 
anymore.  Not when you can pick up decent P4 pizza-boxes for the price 
of a few cups of good coffee.

If you're just looking for a project, and you enjoy beating your head 
against a wall for minimum returns, then by all means have at it and enjoy.

If you have any aspirations of actually running a website, don't try to 
make the RaQ do what it was never built or intended to do.   As we say 
in Texas, don't try and teach a pig to sing.  It wastes your time and 
annoys the pig.

If your goal is to run a BlueOnyx server dirt-cheap, there are much 
easier options.  I can even offer some of those commercially.
