And that actually is a very good point. You either pay in money, or you 
pay in time doing this (and with the economy going the way it is, time 
is going to be in much more plentyful supply...).

For me, though; the problem is that I am using probably a dozen 
open-source projects to the extent I'm using bacula. Open-Audit, nagios, 
putty, apache, are just a few of them. Fortunately, bacula is the only 
one that uses an email list for support - otherwise, I'd drown in all 
the emails from all these mailing lists.
