Other support vendor Says it better and probably more expensively, they do not quote their rates.

This model may not work, who gives paid support for window outside premium line phone calls, call centers, and help desks inside companies, mostly given by friends and inside companies by word of mouth, worth a try to test the market though a web page is almost free.

If you did not find this offer compelling, tell me why it is not compelling

I will initially charge 0 (first 10 1hr incidents)i.e. free then raise my cost to 20 euro/20 dollars per hour of my time payable by donation to Software in the Public Interest as recommended by debian.org. Your on line receipt is proof enough of good faith. Even this is however negociable. Please say whether you would have paid me directly/through a company (so I can decide whether there is a business in this).


Details follow:

Open Source support: Experience cygwin/cygwin X, linux, bash, C, java, tomcat, database/SQL will expand my experience on demand for a lowered donation.
Resolution not gauranteed, if the issue is not resolvable by me or my network of associates, try more expensive/enterprise consultancies for second line support. This comes from an observation that people in the know are not inclined to answer newbie (new person (to linux)) questions, especially if the answers are accessible somewhere on google. I am hoping to be given a direction on what is there available to be accessed that can provide a benefit to the end user, and a benefit to me to appear more knowledgeable as I try to infer knowledge through interaction, something I am bad at, but seems the best game in town.
