Free Gentoo Technical Support

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the finally-my-relatives-can-call-someone-else dept.

Anonymous Coward writes to tell us that GenUX is offering free technical support for anyone using Gentoo Linux. I spoke briefly with one of their support staff and he assured me that it would be completely free Gentoo tech support for approximately 2 weeks to help them 'work out the kinks' of their new support system. GenUX is offering this support through both web-based chat and the traditional phone call. I certainly hope this catches on.

    What kind of Gentoo nerd would I be if I called tech support?

    "I apologize sir, our system is compiling. Thanks for holding."

      Or it would be - "Your call is important to us, please hold. Approximate compile time is 24 hours."

    Up to now I had to run down to Wendy's in-between shift changes to get to talk to a Linux developer!

    I'd love to see you "higher" Gentoo developers. The world needs more tall people ...
