Hi there Brian,
You could try loading it with Strongbolt, see
http://www.prairienet.org/~jtuttle/blog/section/qube/
But remember the BQ install is designed as a web/mail/etc.. server and not a the file
sharing and groups that you had in the Qube.
You could get around this by adding Samba file sharing through the use of Webmin.
All the Best,
Howie.
