Name two.
Well, Kev, let's see. SuSE guys correct me if I am wrong. One would be for marketing purposes, so that SuSE would have an accurate count of users, to show SuSE those people who are supporting them and I have seen added support given because of their knowledge of my support. Ooops, sorry that's more than two, got carried away, but you get the idea. :o)
More likely, how about just wasting SuSE's employee's valuable time, answering emails and phone calls, which would do nothing but push up the prices of the distribution. Oh but wait, maybe SuSE could do what other companies do for tech support, let a bunch of low paid entry-level people answer the support questions.
