We've one of those also, and also for play around X) It's only used as 
internal mail server because I've find more flexiblity in use my own LiNUX 
boxes to do functions that Qube implements. It's a powerful machine from 
hardware view, but its standard software is closed (and bad) enough to forget 
it. It has only advantages if you have no LiNUX experience and no time to 
learn about because its HTTP based administration is good.

It is possible but...

...you'll need some LiNUX experience to install packages in other formats but 
not the Cobalt pkg system, specially if you need to recompile sources.


Have a good one!
