hi ya 

free support is good if...
        - you know what you are looking for
        - time is NOT an issue and can wait and poke around to find 
          the right answers
        - cummulative community collective of collectables ( information )
        - can interpret and understand the vast amount of data
        in mailing lists and web sites and howtos
        
paid support is good if...
        - you have a well defined support issue that is beyong the scope
          of existing or in-house personal
        - your company has the $$$ to pay for support that hopefully
          resolves the problem in a hour or two or project based solutions
        - you dont wantto deal with "what to type" to get it to work right

For Pablo's firewall issues...
        - thing the best process is to hire a firewall consultant to build
        their firewall and maintain it for them ???
                - its debatable if ipchains or firewall-1 or other apps
                and other mroe dedicated hardware are better for pablo'sneeds

- but "certification" is NOT the answer.... ( ducking from the potential
  flames )
