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.

    The press release says you will be able to get support "from a Gentoo developer". Is this accurate? Will you actually get to talk to a developer? Most places have you talk to a tech support person not the actual developers.

      Yes one of GenUX's goals is to higher Gentoo Developers. Most (all but 1) of the Technical Support Staff is a registered Gentoo Dev.
