In that line "support by us" means access to the distribution, i.e. I can debug on the bare metal instead of playing the usual "debugging via email" game. I have pointed it out before, but if anyone supplied a VMWare image of their favorite Linux distribution or Unix it increases the chances that porblems are caught on our end before things are pushed out the door. > cheers, > Andrzej.
