We have installed Linux servers into production environments at 4 locations. We have another client with a Linux server that was installed by someone else to serve a particular application. We are by trade an adminstration/service organization so we deal with providing support to our clients or assisting them in finding it themselves. So the best answer is partner with someone who can provide you with the service level you need. (Maybe Real-Time, maybe us :-), maybe IBM) Then turn to them for support. Or if you buy a commercial distribution you can buy support from that vendor, Red Hat, SuSE, etc. </another cheap plug> -- Jack Ungerleider jack at jacku.com
