Right. But support from the vendor is still better than no support at all.
Community support is an iffy thing. I asked a simple question on the
dd-wrt forums a few days ago and have not yet even had a response. I've
had the same thing happen on the CentOS forums as well. Sometimes it's
nice (or critical) to be able to pick up the phone and talk to a real
human being about something.

Actually, any OEM copy of Windows has no support from MS. All support
is through the vendor. (Now I've called MS before on support, and while
they were completely useless, they didn't hassle me about being OEM, so
maybe they don't enforce this.) You're point on Linux support is well
taken, however.
