Maybe they will chime in and add their two cents on how to position yourself using OpenSource to make a buck. It would be a very enlightening thread. There's probably a ton of ways to make coin from servicing linux. How list members do it, would be interesting as heck, as long as they don't mind sharing. I wish I was at the point I could hire a code monkey that knew his chops! :) Ric ------------------------------ Thanks for the great responses Max, Ric, etc. It's not so much making the almighty dollar, but gaining value. The money will come. I want to invest in an Open Source project(s) that has tremendous impact in the business world. I'm not asking to be "the guy" but at least be part of the team. I want to be sure there is a high demand for the preparation I'm about to endure. I hear I will have to study my arse off and may go blind. ;) That is why I'd like to begin some small projects to get under my belt. Gain experience while accepting the higher learning in preparation for a very large project. I currently have a great box who pretty good in *nix. He runs a very successful website. (www.hyabusa.org if you want to check it out) And is challenging me to advance my knowledge and allow the company to pick up the tab! It's a GREAT start, but I still feel very lost when looking for a linux "major." Will graphics be the future? Linux Desktop? Sharing a thread about creative linux business sounds fantastic! I'd love to hear the stories... Randy -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
