Strongbolt2

After several months of extensive testing, OS Office LTD has finally released Strongbolt2 - the second version of their innovative Operating System for the Sun Cobalt line of hardware appliances. Based on CentOS4, and utilising the power of the BlueQuartz graphical user interface, Strongbolt2 brings a whole new lease of life to the much loved Cobalt hardware.

The new release is a complete re-write of the first installer. Powered by a modified version of Anaconda (the RedHat installation suite), the new OS features a monolithic enterprise kernel, PHP5, a re-designed graphical user interface and comes with popular Roundcube Webmail system.

The new operating system supports the RaQ 3, RaQ 4, RaQ 550 and Qube3 hardware.

Currently the new installer is only available to those who update from Strongbolt1, but there is work in progress to make the new installer accessible to users that want to go straight from Cobalt Linux.
