Hi Anita, I think some businesses are really good when you think about
them in your mind. First at all, I think you have to make a marketing
analysis then you have to decide who are going to be your costumers.
After that, take a notebook and see if the business is rentable.
For the first part, you just need to make a survey. After that you will
find whether or not you have a demand. Of course, you have to keep in
mind what products you are going to offer. Finally, take a notebook and
see which will be your incomings and your outgoings.
That's all I think. The idea is good, but you have to see around and
determine that maybe you will have a better opportunity if you offer
this product to another kind of users like small and medium businesses.
Bye Diego

Subject: [SLUG] Hi....question time again...
Hey,
Hubby asked me to put this out for public consumption. He's thinking
about starting a computer shop for sales and service that is strictly
geared to Linux users. You know, building computers with the Linux OS
installed (he's thinking Mandrake, but he's not sure). Two questions
come to mind:
1) do any of you know of anyone who is already doing this?
2) would you frequent this type of a shop?
He's thinking about doing the research and stocking all the items that
pertain to Linux--mostly hardware that would be compatible with the OS.
I need some input because I'm not sure of the logistics, and quite
frankly, I'm quite nervous about dealing solely with Linux when so many
are indoctrinated with the Windoze philosophy. He wants to get certified
with Linux (apparantly RH and Mandrake have this available) so that he
can do more with it.
Any ideas or input? Thanks!!!
Anita
