no, I'm the reason they sold 6 more servers for $48k. As for the other 4999 newbies...
Who knows? I think good support = continued business. Maybe not utterly profitable business, however.
VA Linux was the best hardware experience I ever had. In fact, it was so good, I feel kind of bad about it. I had "software problems" that were more a result of my ineptitude rather than a misconfiguration on their part. They spent over 10 hours of support calls on their dime basically teaching me the in's and out's of various configurations.
I only had one serious hardware problem with my Full-on 2200. A Corsaire 512meg pc 100 stick was fairly shitay. They had it replaced with in 36 hours of the diagnosis.
I was sorry to see them leave the hardware business. I wonder if they provided that much non-hardware support to every one who purchased equipment from them.
"a *lot* of maintenance"?
huh? I haven't rebooted my P2 300 running redhat 6.1 in over a year and a half. It has *never* crashed. I don't share your experience, if it is in fact your experience. Go buy your iPod. And quit smoking Steve Job's iPot.
Go away. Shoo.
