SearchEnterpriseLinux: Fury Brims Over Red Hat Support Changes Nov 19, 2003, 21 :00 UTC (18 Talkback[s]) (1795 reads)
http://linuxtoday.com/it_management/2003111901926NWRHSW brief excerpt --- McAdam isn't the only one looking for a new distributor. Schunk GmbH and Co. of Germany, a manufacturer of grippers, rotary actuators, linear units and accessories for the automation market, is also looking at moving its SAP systems from 100 Red Hat servers -- versions 6.2 to 9 -- to Debian and SuSE Linux servers. "It is a shame to treat your customers this way. We have just paid the support fee -- which will [lose] its use for us after [Jan. 4] and probably before," said Dieter Heilenz, an IT manager with Schunk. "A supplier can do this [only] once to us." --- Sounds identical to the reasoning that some customers cite for moving off M$ products. "We've been screwed, and it won't happen again." Is Novell/SUSE the only linux offering that does not have a death wish? -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
