[Unattended] paid support options
Hey Folks, The company I work for would feel a lot more warm-n-fuzzy if they had an Unattended scapegoat(besides me). Does anyone know if there's someone, preferably a semi-respectable company, that offers paid support for Unattended? Thanks, Ryan pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
RE: [Unattended] paid support options
I would think that would be outside the spirit of the unattended project. As everything in the unattended (as it is on the web) is a freely distributable (and put together) effort. I could be wrong there, but that would be my feeling on having a paid support division of the project. It then turns into something other than a project and into a company. -- Shenan T.

I think you misunderstood the original question. He was asking if there was any consultants that offered unattended-expretise. That is really a very important part of Free Software (and Open Source), the ability to hire anyone for support. Having a page with links to consultants offering support for unattended might not be out of the scope of the project, but that's certainly not my call. However this mailinglist seem like the obvious place to make a query about paid support-options :-). - Veronica Loell --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.

Re: [Unattended] paid support options
Well... There are many companies which make their money by supporting open source products. Red Hat is perhaps the most prominent, but there are lots of smaller ones. As long as the source code remains free, I do not see a problem. That said, I am not sure Unattended has enough users to make paid support a profitable option. On the other hand, the source code is available to everyone, so really anybody could offer paid support on a consulting basis. Ryan, could you be more specific about what you are looking for in terms of support? Specifically, what kind of a contract do you think your company is looking for? - Pat Shenan Stanley [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I would think that would be outside the spirit of the unattended project.
