  1. No Wonder Support on The Road to Linux: The Descent (Part One) · · Score: 1
    This sounds like No Wonder Support.

    If you have a question about MacOS or Win9x, you send in an email & a volunteer gets back to you within 24 hours. I've used them a couple of times & they are fast, efficient, and courteous. Best of all, they solved my problem every time.

    Speaking as someone who is going to be doing his first RH install in 2 weeks, your idea of a volunteer Linux support site sounds like an excellent idea, and seems like it would be in keeping with the "community".

  2. bingo on Ask Slashdot: How can Free Web Service Recoup Costs? · · Score: 1
    Exactly. Gotta have that clickthrough rate. I've seen statistics which says this is now hovering around 1-2%, which ain't much, and it's getting worse every year.

    Trying to support an online venture through advertising _only_ is extrememely difficult (the only people I can think of who make a profit at it are Yahoo. Excite, CNet, et al, don't make any money).

    Be curious to see /.'s balance sheet.
