We're thinking of launching (as an experiment) an Linux support line with working-from-home Linux experts providing support, good idea in principle?

Linux 0845 Support
« on: July 29, 2010, 02:32:23 pm »
We've got the practical side / implementation sorted, and a couple of 'experts' to take part, but the logistical / financial site has yet to be determined. Just interested to know what people think in principle - is it a facility people could / would use? If so, in what circumstances?
There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.
The box said 'Requires Windows 95 or better'. So I installed LINUX
(D)inner not ready: (A)bort (R)etry (P)izza?

Seems an expense for you guys to go to for (perhaps) duplicating the facility available here. It's a good idea in principle, but check out the costs-v-benefits.

Costs: £5 pa for the 0845 number.
Benefits: Someone to call in an emergency
