Commercial Support
Commercial Support
Commercial support for Linux and Red Hat Linux is an essential ingredient to the success of Linux in the corporate and business community. Although hundreds, if not thousands, of consultants well versed in Linux and UNIX are available on call for a fee, here is a short list of the best-known Linux support providers:
? http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/ — Red Hat's main support page with links to its various support programs.
? http://www.ibm.com/linux/ — Linux services offered by IBM include e-business solutions, open source consulting, database migration, clustering, servers, and support. In addition to service-oriented support companies, nearly every commercial distributor of Linux has some form of easily purchased commercial support. There are various ways in which to take advantage of support services (such as remote management, onsite consulting, device driver development, and so on), but needs vary according to customer circumstances and installations.
The Benefits of Joining a Linux User Group
Join a local Linux Users Group (LUG)! Joining and participating in a local LUG has many benefits. You can get help, trade information, and learn many new and wonderful things about Linux. Most LUGs do not have membership dues, and many often sponsor regular lectures and discussions from leading Linux, GNU, and open source experts. For one great place to start, browse to http://www.tux.org/luglist.html. Another great place to meet up with like-minded people is at one of the numerous Linuxworld shows held around the world. Head on over to http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/flash/ for a list of international shows.
