I do not think in enterprise three years are extreme at all. Not even |
| 15 |
long. RH enterprise line is five years guaranteed. |
| 16 |
Paying for that service is also something what all enterprise users |
| 17 |
would do. Just do not make it as outrageous as RH made. Something along |
| 18 |
the $100/year/machine is OK. I am working for a Small/Medium Business. |
| 19 |
We would pay that money as we did for the RH Network until they started |
| 20 |
to charge astronomical subscription price. $100/year/machine for the |
| 21 |
peace of mind that what I am installing will never break the system is |
| 22 |
quite good deal actually. Less is even better of course :-). You can use |
| 23 |
the money to build/maintain Gentoo's own hardware and broadband |
| 24 |
infrastructure what you could use for the non-stable/non-enterprise |
| 25 |
branch, too. A non-profit status would help in to get people accept that |
| 26 |
money is for the good of the community. |

Just my opinion. |
