This doesn't count. We're talking _vendor_ support, and access to developers. For example, AFAIK, both Novell and Red Hat will write and maintain custom kernel and application patches for a single customer requirement, in essence only huge named accounts that requires such, for as long as that named account is a customer. _That_ is the kind of support CxOs at large organizations are looking for, when we're talking about "paid Linux support". They want a big name vendor with big dollars in the bank backing that support contract. Consultants aren't going to cut it on this playing field as they go out of business too frequently leaving customers hanging. It's merely paid support. It's a big picture of which the payment aspect is a small part. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
