Problem with Making Money with Linux Services (Score:5, Funny) by Greyfox on Friday April 05, @02:53PM (#3292379) (User #87712 Info | http://www.flying-rhenquest.net) Everyone talks about how you should make money with services. Well a few years ago, I set up a guy with a linux based web server and hacked out some scripts to keep 4 modems dialed out and bonded at the same time. Just recently I ran across his E-Mail address and sent him an E-Mail asking him if I'd pissed him off or something since I hadn't heard from him in ages. He told me no, and the machine I set him up with was still running great. Having to keep finding new customers is a royal pain in the ass. You're much better off with Windows, where they keep coming back...
Seth's comment: this is why _support_ is where you make money: sell support contracts. It's like the extended warranty - most people buy them and never use them. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
