Almost all distributors for business customers offer support contracts.
SuSE is doing it for the customers of IBM that buy IBM machines with SuSE 
installed.

We, that is our company, is using a Citrix MetaFrame in case we have to 
deal with Windoes only stuff or Office Docs that cannot be imported int 
OpenOffice.

Works very well, we even can use the scan and fax functions of an 
attached HP LaserJet 1220.

But we are all software engineers, so it might not work for "normal" 
office people.

Cheers,
Kevin
