I think it would be better to start a computer shop for sales and service
that *supports* Linux, rather than is centered around it. That's what's
missing out there. This way you get all the regular PC business to keep
things happy plus you get the Linux folks who have nowhere else to turn
to.

Don't think for a second that you're going to be able to run a shop by
only supporting Linux. There just isn't that much money in it.

That's my opinion, anyway.
