Good.  A few less salesweasels can't hurt things...

If I wanted to be in the VAR business, selling preloaded linux machines to
companies and such, it might not be so hard to sell this as a
compatibility service, or maybe even just through it in for free with any
reasonably sized order.

But, I don't want to sell fleets of machines.  I want to sell software
services, which may or may not come bundled with a free computer.  This
puts me in the hard spot of selling one piece of a large puzzle to people
who want the whole puzzle preassembled from one place.

But, then, this really is just something I want for myself, and that would
be my main motivation of doing it if I ever get around to it.

I really need a rack and a small windows machine to pull it off
though.  The rack is because I can't keep taking more machine in until I
can get them more organized.
