  Clarification: I'm not referring to getting support in administering
Debian.  *We* can do that.  I'm referring to how third-party companies (in
our case, especially system vendors like Dell, Compaq, et. al.) support the
software.  As in providing pre-compiled drivers, kernel support, specs,
software utilities and diagnostics, engineering level tech support, etc.  
Most large companies cannot handle the idea of a software platform that
doesn't have a company like Red Hat promoting it.  They also take issue with
some of Debian's policies.
