I would guess that it covers the 'commercial' version of those distros

Linspire: Ubuntu
Xandros: Debian
SUSE: OpenSUSE
RHEL: Fedora

The lack of Ubuntu is somewhat surprising still, considering that they
do offer commercial support for it, unlike the others.

Four Linux Desktops Tackle the Enterprise The year 2007 might be
remembered as the year when Linux corporate desktops stood up to Windows
Vista. Hewlett-Packard recently announced it is making large deals with
Linux desktops and these orders might be a signal of an important shift
in the market. For this review, the CRNTest Center evaluated offerings
from the four leading Linux enterprise desktop alternatives: Linspire
Five-O, Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, the newly released Red Hat
Enterprise Linux Desktop 5.0 and Xandros 4 Professional. This
independent technology review of these four enterprise desktops
demonstrates why Novell appears to be the most comprehensive alternative
to Microsoft Windows. 



Does anyone else find it disturbing that they didn't include at least
ubuntu, debian, or fedora?
