Hello, First of all, there is no such thing as a Linux O/S-box. You are probably referring to "Linux OS" as it has been released by Corel some time ago. I don't think they are still shipping it.
The term "Linux" is just the name of the kernel, i.e. the most internal part of a computer system which is responsible for actually running the programs you use. The Linux kernel is developed by volunteers, and all the boxes you can buy in a shop are just collections of programs together with that kernel, so-called "distibutions. Most of these programs are also free to use, distribute and modify. If you are interested in this philosophy, have a look at http://www.gnu.org/ Debian GNU/Linux itself is also such a distribution, but a special one. It is the only big one which is also put together by volunteers. So the Debian project itself *does not sell* any boxes. If you are interested in Debian GNU/Linux, you can download some ISOs from http://cdimages.debian.org/ or buy a box from a vendor listed on http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/. If you are looking for a vendor giving commercial support for a Distribution, have a look at one of these: http://www.redhat.com/, http://www.suse.com/ or http://www.turbolinux.com/.
