Of course :) but... Fortune 2500+ for the most part will *not* use a
third party for support for something like MySQL.

MySQL is making a pretty bold statement here. They are saying, for
business, and we mean business, we support RH and Suse which are *the*
business Linux platforms.

It really isn't that different that was most other commercial entities
do.
