"Open source=no support" is a completely false notion. Look at IBM"

What about IBM? Do they sell support for Linux? If so, does it end up being much (or any) cheaper than Unix?

IBM does sell support and its priced slightly less than UNIX but the real advantage is when contract time comes up I can get the same support from Novell..
