I read an article stating that the Munich City Council is budgeting 30 million to implement Linux. Sounds like a bit more than just an 'access to a knowledge base'.</div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Jan.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Obviously you could get in touch with local companies that offer Linux support. When googling for "linux support", I found a few interesting links. I'm pretty sure they'll be glad to offer you a competitive price for a service level agreement if you send them an inquiry.<br>

Hi Guys,<br>
I am getting involved in giving presentations about Ubuntu for a computer<br>
company (<a href="http://www.to-my-taste.com" target="_blank">www.to-my-taste.com</a>) that is promoting silent and energy-efficient<br>
computers for large offices, especially city councils and semi-governmental<br>
organisations.<br>
<br>
One of the things that I will definitely be asked, is the cost of<br>
professional support.<br>
I realise that there is no standard answer for this, and that it should be<br>
tailor made, but at least I should have some idea.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have experience with this? Any input is welcome, I am really<br>
clueless.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Jan.<br>
