I have nothing but admiration and respect for the Debian project.  But
if you want commercial support, there are really two options - Red Hat
and Novell.

Red Hat has been voted the most valuable enterprise software vendor
three years in a row by CIO Insite Magazine, a Ziff-Davis publication.
90% of our customers say they'd do business with us again.

I didn't form the opinion that Red Hat is the best Linux vendor on the
market after I came to work here.  I came to work here because I believe
it.  I was an enterprise Red Hat customer for several years before I
came on board, and the fact of the matter is that you get pretty damned
good support here.

Holler if I can be of any help.
