Get real - frontline support will be trained to understand what the majority of their users need or want. Go off the beaten track - and Linux has a way to go yet before it is a threat to the Windows market share! - and you'll be on your own, at least with the majority of vendors. I'm sure there are exceptions, if anyone wanted to be constructive they could list them here. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
