Quoting Phil Scarratt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I simply use the server version of ubuntu and apt-get any other extras
I may or may not need depending on the function of the server.
Yes.. but it takes some time to do all that...
I guess you are talking about not having to do the extra "install the
other things"?
Exactly..
Have all the "other things" ready, even on a live-cd to give to a customer.
All they do is insert the CD in some-machine, and it creates a vpn
link back with all the packages loaded.. ready for the support-staff
to admin...
in addition, the support-staff can use RADMIN/RDP or VNC or whatever
to support all the windows machines on the lan also.
That will create support opportunities and the chance to build up
ongoing monthly incomes, depending on how many businesses the
support-company can sign up.
I know a lot of IT-support companies would like to use linux a lot
more but the problem is that the current distros aren't really
configured in such a way that enables them to make money from them
directly.
That is the big reason why i think there is space for a distro/derivative.
I honestly just don't know enough people (spend my time either
hacking, or at sales meetings).So I wanted to bounce these ideas.
