Right. The Open Source was "only" for the Qube 3 and RaQ 550. I don't think anyone volunteered to clean the previous old software releases like RaQ 3, RaQ 4 or RaQ XTR up... And the Control Station is still selling, although in a newer version than the old hardware appliance. So that wasn't part of the open source code either. > I think if someone out there took the plunge, maybe the open sourced code > could be continued on for the blue boxes, and not the white box market. Maybe it needs a Blue Quartz Legacy project, just like Fedora has ? Then again, Sun holds all trademarks and has also outsourced the development of security packages for *another* three years more... At least for the RaQ 4 and 5 (XTR), the RaQ 3 is dead (EOSL). > Blue Panel is working on a much better GUI, maybe somehow that could be > integrated with an OS update based on ALL Cobalt code, not just the > Sausalito code. BluePanel and Qbalt are promising, but also rather different ? The best solution for the old hardware is probably to upgrade the ROM to make it a whitebox, and then run another Linux OS ? Like http://www.fallenknight.org/staticpages/index.php/rh9raq3 And for the MIPS boxes, there is always NetBSD for Cobalt... --anders _______________________________________________ cobalt-security mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-security
