Or even Suse support for that matter even if I happen to personally dislike the distro? You speak as if community distros are the only ones available but you have support from a company like RedHat that has gotten a great deal of attention for driving to the corporate market plus you have a company like Suse that is backed by Novell for goodness sakes. Have you even examined these options? I have worked so far for three really huge corporations and in all of those environments Linux was in use all over those organizations. For one business unit primarily doing Unix development for both linux and Solaris we even got the go ahead for linux desktop implementation for the systems/network and programming staff. You have options for corporate level support. The key is whether or not you have really examined these and why are pushing this bit of tired old FUD about that has not been applicable since the advent of corporate distros.
