!^@&%()@! I can't help but respond to this. Are you serious?? This is a business oriented package and you are complaining about (a) no free-node channel and (c) no Gentoo support?

(A) Professional Sys-Admins don't do support over IRC, I've met maybe 1 in my 12+ years.
(B) Businesses don't run Gentoo, Professional Sys-Admins stick with the core/mainstream stuff for core services [Oh boy, I can here the flame throwers spinning up now... but sorry guys, sometimes the truth hurts]

I'd love to see a serious review of LinuxCanada's offerings, one that includes a licensed/certified accountant. Unfortunately you are correct on the point that this package doesn't seem to have build up any steam (but neither a or b are significant contributors to that).
