Free Linux has typical DIY support. Does commercial Linux have any support 
in your area? And does Microsoft have any support beyond salespeople,
trainees and 'he is not in today's?

I have often thought IBM support was bad. Then I remembered the 
alternative, and it immediately seemed to improve. But I have worked
with computers for thirty years, and do not need all that much support.
I could manage Linux, but would never dream of using it in a production
setting. For that purpose you definitely need commercial UNIX - like
AT&T/NCR, not SCO! Or even a real computer like HP-9000 or IBM RS/6000.
That would be the alternative for me if OS/2 is not adequate for the
task. But I would consider very seriously to use OS/2 on the RS/6000...
OS/2 for PowerPc is the basis for Warp 5 and has the new device driver
model and SMP microkernel in place.
