That and there is a history with Linux that PostgreSQL does not have. At
the height of Linux fever there was:

RedHat
Caldera
TurboLinux
SuSE

etc....

For PostgreSQL, there is: EDB.

The rest of us (CMD, 2Q, OmniTI, etc...) are all just service providers.
EDB is the only "distribution" of PostgreSQL.
