I ran FreeBSD and OpenBSD in production for the better part of 15 years w/o any commercial support contracts. Guess I'm a better sysadmin than some that I was able to get away with such unprofessional behavior. Behavior such as corresponding directly with the developers responsible for the code in question the rare instances when I suspected I'd encountered a bug - every one of whom was polite and interested in collaborating with me to get at the root of the problem, and none of whom ever once suggested that I needed to pony up any fees. Such communications also ironically led to resolution of problem ticket that had been open under a commercial support contract for months w/o any real action, much less resolution. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
