Well, I don't know about you, but I value the free support from the community very highly, and hold it in good esteem. If we start to prefer a 'professional' approach, we might be defeating the very purpose of this movement. Let those that have invested the most in FOSS development (read: large companies) charge for supporting it, but when it comes to really doing simple things like installation and minor trouble-shooting, why can't we organize it? Almost all here would agree that they have, at least some of the time, enjoyed setting up Linux on somebody's computer as a matter of proselytizing? -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
