Very partial list of various levels and kinds of support providers: http://www.sysconf.co.il/ http://www.mksoft.co.il/ http://www.tkos.co.il/ http://www.thought.co.il/ http://www.lerner.co.il/ http://www.shemesh.biz/ http://ascender.com/ You might also want to check my .sig :-) For some kinds of support you can buy support from the big names too (HP, IBM etc) but IMHO it's less then adaquate. > One of the claims of FOSS is that the client is in power and can change > vendors easily as plenty of vendors are able to provide the service. > > Where are these vendors in Israel ?
