[geeks] What to do with my Qube 3?

[Jonathan Katz]

Hey folks...

I literally dusted off my old Cobalt Qube 3. I'd like to make it  
"useful" again, mainly as a "landing pad" for a separate lab network  
in my home. It would also do some basic port forwarding.

However, installing an OS on it other than it's ancient version of  
Linux seems to be a bear. The NetBSD restore CD is only for the MIPS  
versions.

Has anyone here installed a more modern OS on it? Did you just swap  
out the drive to another server, install there, and have it "work"  
back in the other system?

Thanks!
