2)This one is dirty and political, but its a fact of life: When something goes wrong in a commercial setting, you gotta find out

is at fault. True, with any Linux Distro, when the system bombs and the management catches hold of you as the sys ad, you cant pin the blame on the
software.
However, if you have paid support with a distro like say Redhat, then
you
can redirect _some_ of the blame :-)
This one makes me laugh out loud. Read the EULA and you'll come to know the extent to which you can blame RedHat or any other software vendor. It's effectively _zero_.
Legally, you cant transfer the blame, but if you can transfer it as far as the bosses are concerned, that would be enough.
