Installation using the serial console was as easy as installing a normal debian on a desktop or server. After the base installation and updates from the debian servers were done to the WD800 HD, i installed the SSH package using "apt-get install ssh".Nice, let us know how it goes, if you don't have any issues then I may try again.
As i've seen no realtime-chip inside the qube, there's no correct system time set when you start it. To solve this i installed the NTP-server so correct time is set from a timeserver on the net everytime it is started. Maybe i'll add a radio controlled clock to the serial port somewhere in the future.
BE CAREFUL (!!!!!) if you remove the CMOS-battery, this little bay which holds the battery only is connected by two soldered pads and both can't take much force. Take a look at the picture i linked yesterday, it's the pad named "XBT1" left from the screw. I had to solder it after i removed battery and bay by gentle force...remove the card holding RAM and CPU makes this much easier if this happens to you, took me about 5 or 10 minutes to fix that problem.
Good luck, i'm still trying around with the Qube. But i'm gonna look forward to get a 2nd one ;)I was installing a chunk of packages I need in one go, so it's possible my issues were down to one of them.
