[plug] Training for Linux?

[Tamara Thompson]

You nailed it.  <smile>  Dilbertism #302 or something.
I keep hearing that there's 'no support' for Linux.  <smiling at the irony)  

There is still a firm fantasy being propagated that it's necessary to pick up a telephone, bother someone else, spew a poorly composed discription of the problem out, and get the magic answer.  
(okay, I do telephone tech support for a very old product :) )

Web tutorials should be a growing market soon. 
If I said there are two options, NT and Linux. Both require the same amount of 
training (say 5 days @$200/day) but the Linux option will be $1000 cheaper, 
everyone could guess the result. HOWEVER if I was to say NT would require 5 
days training (@$200/day) but the Linux option would be $2000 cheaper (no 
training) but I would be reading a book, the NT option "looks safer" (butt 
covering exercise).

Thanks for the comment.
