Now is as good a time as any to post the following: Sun Cobalt is not really doing a lot from their side to encourage development for the RaQ - not when one looks at the asking price for their training manuals. The training set (Certification Pack) contains 5 manuals at the *low* price of only $695 (hurry while stocks last) ... Three of those are Linux manuals (fundamentals, system admin and networking), one describes the GUI interface (also avaliable for free in PDF format from their site) and the last one covers what we all want to know about: http://www.cobalt.com/support/education/self.study.covered.html >> RaQ 4 Technician (5 Chapters, 220 pp.) The RaQ 4 Technician shows you how Sun Cobalt uses Linux on the Sun Cobalt RaQ server appliance. You will study the relationships between the browser-based GUI and configuration files. You will learn; how to observe changes and recognize anomalies in files, how to correct files if necessary, and how to recognize potential bugs. >> The average price for a Linux book is about $50 (maybe even less) [alternative in brackets], thus: RaQ 4 Administration (5 chapters, 120 pp.) [free pdf file] Linux Fundamentals (10 Chapters, 534 pp.) [$50 from Amazon] Linux System Administration (10 Chapters, 372 pp.) [$50 from Amazon] Linux Networking (10 Chapters, 448 pp.) [$50 from Amazon] RaQ 4 Technician (5 Chapters, 220 pp.) [None] Does this mean that Sun Cobalt is selling the latter at $545? It appears as if there is a huge opportunity for somebody to document "the relationships between the browser-based GUI and configuration files". One that I'm going to grab with both hands!
