Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : Cobalt Raq 3 Stability

[BasinWebGURU]

I have just purchased a Raq3 w/ Raq4 Software 512ram. I also will be having a T-1 installed in the next week. Rather than me using it I am going to rent it out and toss it on my t-1. How stable can I expect Cobalts to be. Will I have to perform tons of system admin or after initial setup is it pretty stable. I got a great deal on the server that I could not pass but if my client who leases it is going to have problems I will just use as a internal webserver for myself. Just preparing my self.

Thanks for suggestiond or comments

Once it's up and patched, it should run for a long time... my own 512MB RaQ 4r has not had a single hitch, except for reboots for some patches, in a bit over a year now. It's only got about 10 sites on it - pushing about 5-6GB per month - and nobody has shell access except me, so it's probably not the "normal" setup a lot of hosters use... and I don't put much on it that's not official patches - just SSH and webalizer.
