I've seen few projects that offer as consistently good support as the 
Gentoo community.  There's not a lot of commercial support (yet), but 
between the excellent forums and self-documenting package management, 
there's very little here that a skilled admin can't figure out.

If what you mean is that there's no package listed in the Portage tree, 
have you searched the forums?  Many users post their self-rolled ebuilds 
for less-used programs and/or configurations.

It's also not that difficult to build your own ebuild scripts.  If you 
maintain a large number of seats, there could be a real value to being 
able to do this.
