If I was going to lease a raq3 what would be the process of keeping the updates up to date. Do you use the same ones as for the raq4? Also is there anything I should watch out for in the raq3 as far as performace issues?

They aren't the same, but are located here: http://www.cobalt.com/support/download/raq3.eng.html

if you are going to get a raq3 then get a raq3. In other words dont try to put raq4 software on it. Check out the cobalt software updates site for the latest. When we do a "dedicated" or "managed" cobalt raq to a customer we tell the customer that we maintain the OS.

true, updates are different, don't mess with the raq4 ones on a 3. unless you own the box and have physical access to one.


if you're looking for good places to lease a box from:
