Looking for a PAY version of linux.?

I know Linux is under public license and the like. However, I'm interested in paying for a high quality version of Linux and I'm wondering if there are any legitimate projects along this line. The best I've seen so far is Ubuntu or Linux Mint but I'd like something cleaner. Thanks for any help or advice.

Update:

By "cleaner" I mean more beautiful UI and a low difficulty interaction with the OS. Imagine the Apple OS experience with the freedom of Linux.

    Okay, it's your choice, but it isn't cheap.

    "I'd like something cleaner. " Please clarify, EXACTLY what you mean by that.

    FYI: Paying for any commercial Linux usually means you are paying for on-demand Tech Support, and it's very expensive. Cash doesn't make Linux 'cleaner'. See Red Hat Linux below, for example:

    Ubuntu and Linux Mint have tons of free support, and User Manuals, available on their websites, and elsewhere. And, we Linux users do a great job on Yahoo Answers, too.
