You said you were trying to come up with some ideas for a small business.
Have you thought about trying to start an internet service provider that
fully supports Linux? Maybe you could start a system where a customer can
contract to use your ISP for a certain amount of time. In return they are
given a computer with a Linux distribution pre-installed and set up to use
your internet service provider. If the customer decides to cancel their
account before the contract is up, they have to pay for the computer.
