I know the difference. I am not highlighting any individual problem. The point being highlighted was about how popular names in linux have become commercialised. Earlier there was one distro that gave the choices of different installations like my Red Hat 8 which had a desktop, workstation and server installation choices in it and it was free. Now these companies distribute software in different packages and price them accordingly. Debian is definately a promising distro that is recomended by many experts but those who are switching over from windows know more about brands like RedHat, Mandrake and SuSe.
These companies too need to generate revenue. They can't do that by giving away their software for free ;). Fedora which is a testing ground for new technologies is a great free distro. SuSE being a bit more commercialized does give away certain editions for free...
