true, but the chances are that people who support any Linux will be
able to support Ubuntu,

in 2005 the organization i worked for decided to change to Linux, full
time, till then i was the only user and did my own installs etc but
was not good enough to take on the job (then) so we asked a Linux Guru
to help, and he did - came on location setup most of our systems, with
the exception of a printer which was Linux unfriendly,

Our location being far away (=remote) meant that any support was over
phone / mail. Which worked out well. He was / is a Debian fan but got
us onto Ubuntu because he felt it would be easier for us GUI and all
naa :-)

While i agree it may be good to have a company with dedicated
engineers etc but it may also be possible that full time Linux people
can provide full time support.

And i think your question is a seed of an idea where a bunch of folks
can get together and start up a service
