I've had both Raq's in my rack for a couple of months now. In that time I had the 3i running as an IPCOP firewall. It worked ok but wasn't that good. I think mine had a bad firmware because I could never get it to boot properly without helping it with the rommon commands. I also think I had some performance issues. The other Raq I tried hard to get Asterisk running properly on it but I ran into some problems and performance issues. Compounding that with the lengthy re-image process and it just wasn't worth my time. Long story short, I'll be pulling the Raq's out and trying to sell them in the next month or so. Dickie, nope.

I also have 2 RAQ3's I'd love to run ubuntu on. :-) Thnx Dickie Scott, have you had a chance to make a RAQ image that you are willing to put up and share?

I don't think it makes any difference but these are RAQ3's not Qubes. One thing I found was many comments about not using apt-get dist-upgrade. Apparently it's less thorough about the upgrade than upgrade-manager. Anyway, more posts later as I actually start to use these things and see if they are working properly. Jim,

I'm sort of surprised that you were able to upgrade to 8.04. I vaguely recall that someone wrote to me about not being able to install 7.04 due to a change in the boot image or something. Anyway, very glad it worked for you and thanks for dropping me a line. Hey Scott,
