Re: [PHP3] [Getting OT] Linux + Support From: Chad Cunningham (ccunning <email protected>)
Date: 03/04/99

Exactly. In a corporate environment, down time costs money. The internet
is fine, it's where I get all my support :) But when you have an important
app that you can't run, you need it up NOW, not in a few hours when
someone responds to your newsgroup post. The lack of quality support is
out there, and I think it plagues these companies that are suddenly
claiming to support linux. That's why I feel right now that oracle is a
better choice for mission critical apps.
