Set them up with adsl, and configure their firewalls to allow remote support via ssh.

Then support them from where ever you go...

Hello Some of you may remember that I posted the question over a year ago "should I install SuSE 8.2 on a machine for people whose only experience at home was Windows 3.11?" To make a successful and long story short, my friends have been using Linux/Mozilla/OpenOffice quite well with very little help from me. I am now moving away from the area and would like to know if there are any companies/people that could help them if needed. I'm planning on selling them my current machine (less than two years old, home-built) and installing SuSE 9.1 on it if I know that someone can help them locally. The other option of course is Windows XP so any local shop can support them. I sent a message to the Greater London Linux Users Group and all I got was a roaring silence. If anyone has any leads please let me know; my Googling has been unsatisfactory. TIA&Cheers

Yes that's the easy part. The hard part is reinstalling on a new disk and more of the hardware-related issues that might come up. That's why I'm looking for a local support.

I was thinking the same thing but I too live in Greenwich. (Hi Dylan, maybe we're neighbours. :-) ) Eddie

Well since my last post was received with successive sarcastic responses i guess i must have done something wrong - all i was trying to do was create a bit a camaraderie. I sincerely apologise for the waste of electrons. Tim
