Rui CarmoI've spent a few hours diddling with our previously dead Qube, and after swapping all its RAM for fresher, more reliable chips, am in the painstakingly messy process of installing RedHat 9 on it - which is, I believe, a world first (previous attempts focused on 8.0), and likely to propel my soul a few millimetres towards full geekdom. You can view the draft over on the Sandbox (if it isn't there by the time you read this, then it's finished and in the HOWTO section).
