A few years back a bunch of people on the NMLUG list were pimping 
Debian, and only Debian. I have my preferences amongst Linux distros, 
but I always shy away from messianic causes. Canonical, the publisher of 
Ubuntu, is in fact a private for-profit company. Among other things,

"Canonical charges $250 per year for PC support during business hours 
and $2,750 per year for round-the-clock server support. In addition, a 
number of business partners also offer support..."

The implementation of Linux is the foremost topic here, and anyone is 
free to make their choice, but with HUNDREDS of choices (distrowatch.com 
covers the top 100) I wish the discussions were more expansive.
