My sentiments exactly. But add this. If I can support the product, I get a customer. Along with that, I would purchase a boxed edition for the customer to put on his shelf, and at least a minimal support package so I can call for help should I need it. I think it would be great if the Server package were available with a basic installation and configuration guide and 2 months of up2date included for $100.00; Additional support packages for $100 per hour/incident -- prepaid gets priority support; and for $50-75, a years Up2date extension. For less than the price of a Microsoft server, I could sell them installation and support their server for a year. Better bargain than MS.

I need a packaged, recognizable product that clients will feel comfortable with, and for which they *can* buy support if they end up needing it. At that price break, I'll get a lot of clients who'll figure "If the costs for RedHat are so high, let's go with Windows--it's at least the devil we know." Fedora ain't going to cut it in that arena. -- Dave Ihnat [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
