Diane and Guest, we’re talking about two totally separate things here. Node.js is already “supported” (meaning that is is available and can run) on many Linux based platforms as well as Windows and Mac OS X. What StrongLoop is offering is support on Node.js itself as part of our distribution with the platforms we have built our installers on.

If there is a bug with the Node.js core for v0.10.0, StrongLoop 1.0.0 subscription support subscribers will be able to have this kind of support addressed by StrongLoop.

Hope that clarifies things!

Barb,
Do you understand your statement?
“there was no formal support from Red Hat”

We have Node.js running in RHEL in a production environment for a SaaS app. You just compile Node.js and you are in business. The beauty of Node.js is that there is no need for any support.

Pl be careful when you make these blank statements.

Cheers.
