Careful here. While you carefully said "linux", the original question was about the costs of Debian, and a casual reader might infer that Debian offers paid support. So, just to clear that up, Debian does not offer paid support, but third-parties can and do offer support for Debian systems. > Also note that commercial support use to have strict exigencies, > such as [requiring specific kernels, patches or hardware]. Depends on who's providing the commercial support. Linux support is a completely free market, open to everyone from huge international companies to private consultants. Limitations such as you describe are more common to the larger, more generic support organizations. -- Chris Waters | Pneumonoultra- osis is too long [EMAIL PROTECTED] | microscopicsilico- to fit into a single or [EMAIL PROTECTED] | volcaniconi- standalone haiku -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
