[plug] Non-free debian distro

I was just wondering if there are any non-free Debian style
distributions of Linux out there.

Novell have got their commercial version of Suse out there where they
are obliged to provide some support for their software. However, Debian
seems to have much better hardware support available and their package
management system is better.

If there was a large company who provided support (not just the
consulting firm who rolls it out), it would be easier to respond to the
typical objections (such as accountability) when trying to implement
Debian solutions.

Cheers,

Rowan
