That is why I don't mind, and in fact encourage big companies to get into Linux more. HP for example has some very knowledgeable people on a Linux specific support team. If someone from say the NASDAQ calls in because one of their Linux boxes throws up an arcane error, that team will help them solve it, instead of telling them to go to Google.com.



That's merely because the NASDAQ is willing to pay HP to help solve their problems. It has nothing to do with HP versus a little guy.

If NASDAQ wants to pay me $1000/hour to do the same work, I'll happily do it for them and get it done even more quickly and professionally than HP.
