On your own? What kind of statement is that? Support is available, as with any
other OS, and then some. I can pick up the phone anytime, 24/7 and call HP or
Novell to get linux support.

Then there's also support available on the net for free.

Too many outmoded stereotypes. I know a number of linux admins, and as with
anything, there are some really sharp ones, and some that you wouldn't let
near your computer. All the linux admins I know are married and own houses BTW.
