   There is a Zorin Pro for about USD 50 which allows selecting from an   
   assortment of DEs and other goodies.

   Zorin contributes to other FOSS projects so they must sell enough Pro   
   packages to keep the lights on. It doesn't say if support is included like   
   RHEL or SLED but that  would be a stretch for $47.99.
