Fwd: Urgent critical assistance required with Linux for company

[Alan Dayley]

She is from a tech support company supporting a customer.  She has NO Linux 
experience.  Reading the manual would eventually get to the answer but her 
customer company is dead in the water because a Linux file server has this 
problem.  She wants a solution ASAP.  I am sure someone on this list could 
walk her through some things over the phone even.

In this case, RTM is not a good answer for them.  Someone that knows what 
they are doing could probably fix this in a few minutes and that is what 
she and her customer needs.  Come on, this is a paying gig involving Linux 
and is a way to support Linux use in the business community.  I don't think 
PLUG should respond with RTM!

Doesn't any of the Linux admin PLUGgers out there want to earn some cash?
