<OT> RedHat support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I had an Issue with RH9 and contacted Red Hat support,  once I finally 
got to speak to a support "professional" I was fobbed off in a most 
unprofessional manner and spoken down to as well.  Incidentally they 
never off a remedy for the particular bug either at the time, which was 
if you installed a Red Hat box with a Reiserfs file system (linux 
reiserfs), the RH9 upgrade install does not spot any linux partitions to 
upgrade, - pretty shit big time bug if you ask me, basically they 
insinuated I was a moron for using reiserfs.

So I would call it a shit house support too.  ;-)
