Do they bundle a year's worth of hardware and software support, including warranty? Support has always been one of Sun's strong suites. The last time I had a bad GBIC, one of the early Vixels, they had a hardware engineer there within a couple of hours. That was on contract. Warranty support would have cross-shipped a replacement part next-day. A number of companys also offer s/w support contracts for Linux. I wonder what the market would be for FreeBSD support contracts? -- Roger Marquis Roble Systems Consulting http://www.roble.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
