Hello all, A few months ago I helped out a local Linux user with their laptop problems. I left them a very happy customer with a much more modern, up-to-date laptop running Debian with their (non-trivial!) e-mail system up and running.
It took probably 4 visits and 5+ hours to sort everything out. I charged and got paid a fair, reasonable hourly rate for it (much less than the commercial PC support businesses were charging). I really enjoyed the experience and the "customer" suggested I should explore doing it as a part-time "business" because I displayed a patient, service-oriented nature. Does anyone know in Hampshire LUG know of opportunities in this around the Southampton/Eastleigh area? I have put up several flyers around my area but so far I have had no response. I mentioned that I'm a "Linux specialist" but I expect the majority to be running Windows I guess. It may just be that this particular customer is pretty unique because they were Linux user since 2000 but someone else did the technical set-up who had since got out of touch. I would only be doing this mainly for fun, experience and to earn a bit of "pin-money". If it's too much like a business it takes the fun out of it. Any ideas/thoughts/comments? Anyone tried this already? Thanks. -- Please post to: [email protected] Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
