I'd thought about that myself, opening up a small Linux-only shop.  The
only things that I don't have to do so are money, and money, and, well,
money.  :-P  The other thing is that I am not sure how high the demand
would be for it.  I know that when I give people Linux, most people look
at me like I am weird, and I am willing to bet that only a few that I
randomly give it to actually check it out.

I know that I can't stand using Windows.  It feels like being put in
jail.
