Subject: The Cobalt RaQ 550
I *HATE* the Cobalt RaQ 550 OS.
I have a client who hosts users on RaQ 550 based systems.
This is a world of pain. In large part, this is because every time they
screw up again I keep thinking "standard Linux system - months of
uptime".
Really, a hosting platform that cannot consistently manage more than a
few days of uptime before it reboots, usually without any help from
anyone, is an insane proposition.
I also hate the fact that they store all the core information in a
stupid proprietary database.
One that got corrupted on one of the servers.
In fact, one that hosts around 150 sites.
One which is a world of pain to try and migrate things away from
because, you guessed it, the core database is corrupted.
So now I get to try a next to bare metal recovery on a host that has no
sane way to achieve this.
*argh*
None of this even touches on the hate that you get when the thing is
actually working correctly either.
