    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.

            But that paid support (the one that costs £80 odd) in
            Canonical, has a 3 day waiting for non important answers,
            so you could be needing help, ask a question, it could
            take up to 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?

        Regards,        Barry.
