  1. Surpsingly, Ohio is full of geek events by clymere · · Score: 1 · on Ohio Linux Festival 2005
    There is a surprising amount of activity here these days:
    • Notacon http://notacon.org/ - annual hacker/art/technology convention in Cleveland
    • Hamvention http://hamvention.org/ - Annual HAM radio festival in Dayton
    • Ohio Linux Fest http://ohiolinux.org/- well, you already know about this one :)
    • FOURTEEN LUGS!!! I couldn't believe it myself, but i found this out when doing research to help promote Linuxfest
    • 2600 groups, Perl Mongers groups, Snort Users groups...all kinds of other assorted user groups.
    • Countless amounts of businesses based around OSS. Pantek http://pantek.com/, Hurricane Labs http://hurricanelabs.com/, N2Net http://n2net.net/, several of our sponsors rely on OSS for their core business, and give quite a bit back to the community.
    Just all kinds of stuff, especially in central and northeast Ohio. I used to hate it here, and a little googling has left me with more monthly and yearly events to go to then i know what to do with!
  2. Linux patching sevice by morpheus98 · · Score: 1 · on Patching Paranoia - How Fast Do You Patch?

    There is a small independent Linux company out there which guarentees they will apply security patches to your system within 48 hours.

    This isn't an automated service, their techs actually login remotely, backup config files, install the patches, and test everything.
    It looks like it is priced for businesses.

    My company uses these guys because we've had problems with up2date and similar automatic patching software in the past. We've lost configs, had apache and other daemons not restart, and have had lost log files as a result. But since this company has been patching our systems, our patches are always applied on time and our services have not been interrupted for more than a few minutes at the most.

  4. Independent Linux providers may be of service by morpheus98 · · Score: 5, Informative · on The Increasing Cost of Red Hat Linux?

    My company has hired a small independent Linux technical support provider to help with this.. They have a service where they create patches and updates for RH 6.2-8.0 when new security vulnerabilities are out. They test them, package them as RPM, and distribute. So when 12/31/2003 comes around, you don't have to upgrade to 9.0 if it isn't feasible.

    Its kind of expensive and may not work for everyone, but its worth a look:

    In this economy when the "big" Linux players are worried about the "big" issues, I prefer working with a smaller company like these guys because they work harder to make their mark.

  5. support by uslinux.net · · Score: 2, Insightful · on How Would You Argue for Open Source?

    There are plenty of companies which specialize in support for Linux and Open Source.

    I mean really, you don't need to pay millions of dollars for support, though it is more difficult to find 24x7x365 support with 4 hour turnaround when you're talking $10,000/year instead of $250,000.

    Then again, does your company really *need* that level of support? I would venture to say that they probably don't. If you build redundancy into your systems, you should be able to get by in most cases, albeit under heavier load. For 24x7x365 support, expect to spend $$$$.
