I've worked in some small businesses where the software support contracts were priced up to about 5000.00$US per year. In more than 40000.00$US of support I would say I've seen less than 400.00$US of value. This is aside from updates and fixes which I won't attempt to assign a specific value to; but on this Debian is clearly outperforming all the proprietary sources I've used. rob Live the dream. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
