Paul you need to read Bruce's answer again he didn't say there would be an upgrade he said that the next product and all future products will be based on the 2.4 kernel. In other words look closely at Tim Hockins stuff on 2.4 for the RaQ4 (I know a guy who is running 2.4.13, and converted the /home and /var partitions to ext3 so it can be done but don't expect SunCobalt to do it as you will gather from the thread the RaQ4 will become obsolete in time and will suffer the same fate as the RaQ2 and RaQ3 > >Our next product, and all future products on the roadmap, will be based > >on a 2.4.x kernel. I think the most we should and deserve to hope for is for the features in the manual to work on the product. Bruce remember the 2001 Worldwide - I was promised that the backup facility was going to be fixed and back ported to the RaQ3 and RaQ4 and maybe even the RaQ2 and Qube2..! >From a security point of view I know of at least one company that can root any cobalt when needed if a customer forgets their password. They have been able to do it for just over a year (in fact they had a party to celebrate the anniversary of telling Cobalt) They even have an internal web page to allow them to do it easily on their own network I stress. The php vulnerability in the XTR and Qube3 needs to be fixed quickly as well as reported Vulnerabilities in the XTR Admin GUI. and I saw on this list that there is also a zlib vulnerability as well. I know individuals within SunCobalt bust a gut to get stuff done its the Sun people up above who don't give the priorities that are to blame - at the end of the day engineers usually want to fix stuff if its broke and code new features when done. my 2 cents having seen the inside and the outside.
