[ale] Suggestions on Linux / OSS support providers?

[Lightner, Jeff]

RHEL and SUSE are both "commercial" distros built around being supported
by their respective makes.   Many companies that want "support" use them
for that reason.   Here we use RHEL but haven't really had any major
support needs.   The main benefit to using these distros is many of the
commercial applications one might get on Linux are supported mainly on
RHEL and to a lesser extent on SUSE.   (This doesn't mean they won't run
on other distros - just that you might have issues calling the software
maker for issues if they find out you're not running on a "supported"
platform.)

 

Canonical offers support for Ubuntu as I understand it but I don't know
that there is a lot of support for it by other application vendors.

Hi ALE!

 

Anyone have any recommendations on support providers for Linux (OS) and 

open-source software needs?  $Werk is finally coming around and Linux is


finally getting a foothold in the server fleet.  I can support it just
fine 

myself, but as can be expected in larger enterprises, they are searching
for 

someone to provide support/assistance with not only Linux, but some 

open-source software (primarily Apache at this point, but I expect it to


grow).  You know, in case I take vacation... ;)

 

Candidate suggestions can be local or national/global -- anyone worked
with a 

company that they would recommend (or recommend staying away from) ??

 

 

Thx,

-e.
