It's more a project than anything. And mostly because I can't figure out how to get a recent version of php or mysql installed on the Cobalt OS that came with it.<br><br>Thanks for your suggestion, albeit not the direction I'm taking this.<br>

</div>Whole-heartedly agreed. I know that I've said it before plenty of<br>
times, and at the risk of sounding like a "hardware snob", there just is<br>
not any benefit to trying to run BlueQuartz or BlueOnyx on a RaQ<br>
anymore. Not when you can pick up decent P4 pizza-boxes for the price<br>
of a few cups of good coffee.<br>
<br>
If you're just looking for a project, and you enjoy beating your head<br>
against a wall for minimum returns, then by all means have at it and enjoy.<br>
<br>
If you have any aspirations of actually running a website, don't try to<br>
make the RaQ do what it was never built or intended to do. As we say<br>
in Texas, don't try and teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and<br>
annoys the pig.<br>
<br>
If your goal is to run a BlueOnyx server dirt-cheap, there are much<br>
easier options. I can even offer some of those commercially.<br>
