On the other hand, Cobalt web interface for administation is a BAD BAD
thing whenever one knonws how to to more by hand: the interface is
incompatible with pratically *every* good thing that one can think
to do manually.

And software updates by Sun/Cobalt have big, big latency times ...
So I understand why someone wants to replace Cobalt software with
Debian.

yes, many of the things I want to do do not work well with the standard web interface, but upon deeper reading, i need at least a firmware update to use 2.4 series kernels, and it looks like I will have to use ext2 at least for my root and boot partitions, but with hope I can use XFS for everything else. I'll post my results in case anyone is interested.
