Almost every error, crash, problem, or compile problem I've come across has had at least some discussion of it, often including a solution. If not, you're already on the plug mailing list, so you have a wealth of people here willing to help you out, provide expertise, advice, and try to search for a solution yourself. They're at least as good as what you'll find at Red Seven or other places.

Newegg, Frys, and other places are good sources of replacements/upgrades if the problem is in the hardware.

That's why, even though I liked the concept of a linux support store, I never had reason to be a customer. Any problem they could fix was either one I could already fix myself (with plenty of googling and trial and error), or one I couldn't afford to fix myself, much less hire someone else to do the same thing (hardware errors).

Might be blindingly obvious to you but not to me with my poor old end
user's brain. Want to expand on it?
