this is exactly why i avoid using any disribution brand names when talking to
potential clients about Linux until all the cards are on the table. i just
refer to it is "Linux". if they ask where to get it from, then I mention that
there are several sources that provide different integration strategies, and
that that is a strength when using Linux since you can pick what works for
your given situation and even move from one to the other if need be.
i also feel that selling on a brand name is not very open source-y, and it
really hasn't been necessary in my experience to do so...
