CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance is built on the community version of Redhat Enterprise Linux called Centos.

RAQport ships all the systems listed below worldwide.

This server appliance uses CentOS as operating system. As GUI interface it uses BlueQuartz, which is based on the open sourced RaQ550 Sausalito architecture from Sun Cobalt.

Sites, users, mailing lists and settings can directly be imported with the built in CMU from any Cobalt RaQ. So this is an inexpensive way to trade the aging Cobalt RaQs against much more modern hard- and software, while retaining the well known functionality and GUI interface.

A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do everything a RaQ550 and it does it much faster. A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do all including Frontpage. We do not have Chilisoft ASP at this moment ) - The serial ATA hardisks have a throughput of approximately 50 MBit/seconds and even the basic model with a 2.8GHz CPU outperforms a RaQ550 by several magnitudes.

Aside from the speed there are other compelling reasons to consider replacing existing RaQ3, RaQ4, XTR and RaQ550 with a CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance

The sudden demise of the Sun Cobalt RaQ has left ISPs and hosting companies with a time bomb: hundreds of thousands of RaQ servers worldwide starting to wear out – with no viable replacement. Fortunately, Linux specialists have the answer.

A CentOS + BlueQuartz Server Appliance can do everything a RaQ550 can do as well (including FrontPage but no Chilisoft ASP) - and it does it much faster. The serial ATA hardisks have a throughput of approximately 50 MBit/seconds and even the basic model with a 2.4GHz CPU outperforms a RaQ550 by several magnitudes.

CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor (read that as Red Hat). CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. CentOS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork. CentOS is free.

BlueQuartz project which is based on the Sun Cobalt Sausalito architecture of the Cobalt RaQ550. BlueQuartz provides the same GUI functionality which a RaQ550 provides - minus the Chilisoft ASP and FrontPage support. Sites, users, mailing lists and settings can easily be imported from an existing Sun Cobalt RaQ to a server running BlueQuartz - through the built in CMU utility.
