    ...freely available, high quality Linux operating systems accompanied by certifications, service, and support options

    Why a distro based on Debian? Why not just certify, service and support Debian itself?

    I know there has to be a seperate distro for every ego in the OSS world, but from a technical point of view, why is a new distro needed?
