Hi,
Does Debian provide paid support? Not to my knowledge- somebody correct me if I am wrong.
Debian doesn't need to. There are other companies that provide paid support. Hire one of them. Of course, there is the question of why you'd ever need support with Debian ;)
Ok- I didn't know that. If other companies do provide paid support, then I guess it should be fine to have a Debian handling your moolah.
Ofcourse, there is still the question of Enterprise Linux, which is tuned for high performance, and there are claims abt Redhat Enterprise Linux being the best in the industry (dunno if its true). Wonder whether there exist Enterprise versions of Debian which can run on specialized hardware and yield high performance? Also, vendors such as Oracle, VERITAS, BEA, CA, and IBM certify their products to run properly on Enterprise versions, and such testing and certification is very important in business. Such assurances are available with Redhat, but I am not aware if the same is true with Debian...wanted to know.
Yours, KZ
