[Wylug-help] Server Support

[Roger Greenwood]

Thanks Richard.

I assume you meant nativespace, but I am really looking for suppliers of 
kit and not hosting.

I have had a look through the links, and which would be useful if I go 
it alone. I would really like to have some paid backup available though, 
if I get it wrong then peoples jobs are affected. I have no problem with 
our current supplier other than the cost, but we are not large enough to 
sustain the current levels of support we are paying for.

If I don't pay the support costs this year, then I need a backup plan. 
Having used linux myself at home exclusively now since about 1997, you 
would think I should know enough. The truth is I am a user and a 
tinkerer so I will never know enough compared to the professionals. I 
just hope that by now there are enough suppliers out there who have seen 
the light and can get paid for their efforts rather than pass it all on 
to huge corporations.

If there are any other local (maybe small) suppliers with a support 
dept. anyone can recommend I would appreciate a tip-off.
