Cobalt Networks CobaltOS: Proxmox Port

Cobalt Networks “RaQ” and “Qube” products were rather popular with ISP’s, web hosting companies and small/medium businesses in the 90’s and 2000’s. Their operating system media was preserved via the Internet Archive but getting it running on regular hardware is an extremely difficult task as the OS was never released for installation on 3rd-party hardware.

Retro computing youtuber “The Phintage Collector” ported it to Virtualbox a while back during an attempt to ressurect their “RaQ3” server. This is an extension of his work to bring it to a more “proper” hypervisor as part of an upcoming retro computing project.
