Hi Rob, I'm afraid you got to decide for yourself. You are not paying anything for any support, right ? So, which support are you asking for, exactly ??
As far as there won't be a large market of established users, for any company to port to Alpha is just wasting of employees' time, and employees do demand money for their work - you aren't working for free, I guess :-) ? The only thing to do is to get everything working ourselves, as you said. I really really find it disgusting that small Alpha camp is further divided into tiny RH/Deb/Suse/FBSD/NBSD niches, preventing from concentrating a few active developers together, but that's the life :-( And regarding "Why use an Alpha" - because it is fun :-) Regards, Andrei Robert Martinovic wrote: > I've gotten to the point where I'm thinking of selling my Alpha.
