An trip to work to get my cable back and I could see what was going  
on- a CMOS change was needed, and BQ is up and going, and a lot of  
updates applied just about automagically.

I hadn't checked the SB forums for about 3 weeks, and they have more  
posts the about Qubes from the last couple weeks, although it isn't  
on their main pages yet.  So that is actively developing as a  
resource, there wasn't much there until very recently.

Thanks for the tips so far about BQ and also for the Qube info; when  
you look for new operating systems to install on the Qube, BQ shows  
up pretty readily and points to this list, but I hadn't seen anything  
about Strongbolt until it was mentioned here.  That was a huge help.

I have some BQ questions now that I'm fiddling with it, but I have  
some fiddling and reading to do yet.

Thanks for the resources-

Brian
