Linux has better end-user support than does Windows; you can buy support directly from the organisation that produces it and there's proper, structured (sort-of) community support, too - Ubuntu might well be aiming for one support channel for every possible medium, but at least it's *one* and it's official. The notion of Windows being better supported tends to be based on the fact that everybody knows someone who uses Windows and knows how to fix it, which isn't really a proper support structure, but is a very good reason to buy Windows. -- Avi -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
