Cobalt RaQ happieness…
I got my RaQ 2+ yesterday — the thing is dead sexy. I booted it into RaQ OS once just to take a look at it. It’s a pretty slick little OS, tho outdated for what I wanted so I immediatly wiped the drive and started installing gentoo. They have a testing/semi-stable port specifically for the RaQ/Qube 2/2+ platform. I was able to get the stage3 tarball on the system last night and am in the process of emerging the needed utilities. Tonight I will compile the kernel, install the bootloader and start transferring settings over from the current router.
Once it’s done, I’ll image the harddrive and put it in service as the NAT gateway/firewall/ipsec tunnel endpoint.
I’m bidding on another RaQ 2+ to make into a development / test box and then eventually into another internetwork router.
More info / pics as I get this setup and working.
