Actually, what I meant with "supporting debian" is the debian project
itself. For example, VA Linux has now supported debian for many years,
donating hardware and bandwidth to the project, and in fact employing
people to work on debian. And that was when they basically sold Red Hat
preinstalled on their systems (for similar reasons you state in your
emails, I presume).
Anyway, thanks for your response; at least I know that your message was
in good faith and not blatant spam as sometimes is the case. However,
spam (even in forms as yours) is _not_ wanted on the debian lists (or in
fact anywhere). Perhaps if you were an active person on the lists,
participating in discussions etc, and you slipped in an URL to your
company in a subtle manner, it would be different.
