A lot of organizations of all types want support, and are willing to pay for it, and Red Hat is, at this point, built the best business model around this than any other distro ( Canonical , with Ubuntu , is sneaking up behind, but I’m not sure it has the “enterprise&# style some people look for.)

This migration, unlike the Mac OS -> Ubuntu migration, has been completely painless. A few tweaks (mentioned in the previous post,) and I was up and running with all posts and comments intact. Add a few important plugins, and I’m back to where I was just a few days ago on Typepad. Now, there is. Actually, there are several.

I’m on week 3 of my Ubuntu laptop migration – things are smoothing out – I’ve got audio working, I can listen to mp3 and audio streams. That sounded like good advice, since it might take me quite a while to get to step 1. (If, If, perchance, you might want to read it, drop me an email.)

I particularly like the advice about how to use the comments for refining your point, a sort of thinking outloud and "Correct English be-damned" point.
