Re: Pay for linux support (was - Re: iix and the rest of the world...)



Support for money is better then no support at all. AFAIK netvision supports
linux for their subscribers as part of the normal service (that is - no
extra charge), and also offer support for non-subscribers for a fee, or per
incident.
This is, IMHO, the best offer that you can get, considering it's a
commercialy oriented firm, and not some do-good friendly volunteer
organization, and definetly the best offer you can get in Israel (not sure
about the rest of the world, but I feel like Netvision would rank high
globaly)
There's a maxim in hebrew, which does not translate so well into english,
about not asking for the whole thing when you're offered a piece ;-)

Oded

p.s. -
why didn't anyone fix the typo in the subject line ? :o)
