Agreed, but alot of companies want to be able to point a finger at
someone or some company when something goes awry. With RH being
the first to put out PostgreSQL with an operating system that I would
assume was fine tuned for best performance by those that know the
OS very well and possibly even include some tools along with it, I'd
think their offering would be well received in the small to medium
sized business community.

Heck, I pay ~400/year for BSD/OS support on my home machine because when
I have a complex problem, I need someone to concentrate on getting it
solved, so commerical support isn't just for finger-pointing.
The $400/year has been worth it for me so I suspect there are PostgreSQL
users that need such support too.

I didn't mean someone to blame, I meant someone to call.

Yes I do as well, but this only increases your freedom of choice.
IMHO that is what free software really is about, and not the fact that you
also can download it gratis.
