You either pay in money, or you pay in time doing this (and with the economy going the way it is, time is going to be in much more plentyful supply...).
For me, though; the problem is that I am using probably a dozen open-source projects to the extent I'm using bacula. Open-Audit, nagios, putty, apache, are just a few of them. Fortunately, bacula is the only one that uses an email list for support - otherwise, I'd drown in all the emails from all these mailing lists. -- Kevin Keane Owner The NetTech Turn your NetWORRY into a NetWORK!
