I sympathize with Ruslan's problem. I was in Kharkov, Ukraine last summer and couldn't find much support for anything, let alone high powered computing. If they can't keep the walls standing, they can't keep the computers dry ;) I've since found a few relay servers, but most everybody's still squirting UUCP. However, I would suggest, Ruslan, that FreeBSD and PostgreSQL source code availability and these wonderful mailing lists will give you much better developmental support than you will ever get from Oracle or Sybase or SCO or M$. I know that between these lists and the codebase I can get better answers in less time than it takes to get through the telephone hold time on a support line, and for you, e-mailing lists are thes ONLY viable support mechanism. My recommendation: stick with people who will support you from personal pride and altruistic professionalism, of which the FreeBSD crew is a prime example. Of course, you might also get a few flames along the way... :))) they're fun! -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo
