The way I understand Commercialism & Linux is this:
All distro's of linux using the kernel filed under the GNU Public License have to provide a free downloadable source to any OS using the kernel, etc. Therefore any company can sell a distro they make, but they have to provide it for free over the web, too. Lindows isn't 'non-commercial'. They charge people to install their operating system, and although ISO's are available on the Internet, they aren't legal since proper licensing isn't acquired. Head on over to LinuxISO.org to get free ISO's for what I believe you're interpreting as non-commercial OS's such as Debian, Slackware, Redhat, TurboLinux, Yellow Dog Linux, etc, etc. This site has links to the distros' homepages, too, many of which provide the screenshots you want to see.
Did this help at all?
