If I could find somebody to teach me how to run Ubuntu properly, and be able to use the Terminal to fix problems, I would gladly help in support, but I just dont know enough....

I don't want to pick on them and I have to say I'm considering the merits of paying for one of their support subscriptions to aid my business. Would having access to their knowledgebase and someone at the end of the phone be a useful asset alongside the free community support? I suppose I'll only find out by giving it a go.

        three days to answer


    Oh, and Microsoft offers better?  Please.  The only way people
    used to get support was from the trader from whom they bought the
    product.  Computer stores made their money because they offered
    good support.  But they paid dearly for their knowledge-base
    because they had to buy training in.  You can do the same - or you
    can build it for yourself within the community along with the rest
    of us.  Personally, I've never found a support-base as good as
    when I joined the Ubuntu community (and the local Linux user
    group), and I've tried to offer whatever I can in return.  There's
    many a good trader who relies on the community and the many
    excellent wiki pages to build corporate knowledge, so why pick on
    Canonical?
