Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the replies, I've only just acquired the qube and I
want to get the basics up and running pretty quick.

I've done the install with the 3.99 CD and all seemed to go okay, so
now I've just got to set it all up. I really didn't have too much
time to look at it after I did the install but I did rlogin and do
"man afterinstall" but it said no manual was found.

I've found a few guides etc around (I'm not being lazy honest!) but
if people could post their links to any reading material they have
I'd appreciate it. I don't intend it do go under any heavy load but
what I really want to do it stick apache,php&mysql on it and also
samba. If poss a mail server too (can I use xmail?).

Is there anything I can do to get the lcd to do more than display the
IP of eth0? Getting the buttons going would be nice; I'm prepared to
be quite adventurous here.

Any other web based management utils out there? 

Cheers
Glyn
