Commercial support for KDE vs. Integration in UserLinux

Well, these are two very different things:

1) supporting one customer with specific needs in direct exchange for money
or
2) satisfying the needs of everyone in want of a desktop environment and its integration with the distribution

Usually, it is much easier to provide the first than the second.

The UserLinux principle to rather select the (arguably) best solution for every common problem enables it to integrate far better and with less work (in theory). For me this is a convinving argument. Now I hope that they live up to the expectations.

If you prefer choice over integration, you can still use Debian itself.
