Open Source Service Companies

The Jump Box web site is inspiring as I see one more company capitalizing on the services industry that feeds off of open source software. I suppose that if you do not have the time or experience then you can rely on these services. Seasoned IT geeks like myself grew up with Linux and can appreciate the logic behind saving time when using any product.


What I want to point out is that there is paid support for any open source solution that we want to consider. An IT department does not want to place their business partners in a situation where any of the supplied solutions are not supported by outside vendors. IT departments must always want to allow their business partners an alternative to acquiring support for an installed solution. Ideally the on site staff can support most applications, but when times get rough you gotta have a second opinion and paid support must be available.

What Black People Like

I wanted to show Sylvia an example of formatting ides for doing quotes and hyper-linking in her blog 3. I wanted to show some fine examples of blog writing and sites. I started my search using Google.  Sometimes when I am getting ides for my blog I start by writing an email such as this.  Eventually I may decide to post this directly into my blog.  Using Word Press you can set this up so that you can email your blog directly, but I have not configured this on my blog.  What I do is copy the email directly into the web editor an post it. My first example of what black people like is listed below.  You will notice that I have referenced the snippet using a different color font than my original written text and I have also italicized the font.
