Hey, if you live out in the sticks, make you own cluster of users...
I met a guy in Bisby, AZ last year that was doing bang-up business
installing Linux on old broken Windows 9[58] boxen. Bisby is located way
down in southern AZ. It's a bit low rent. The locals often cannot buy new
machines to run the latest offering from M$. A modern RedHat 9 installation
is a hell of a better system than Windows 9[58].
The guy was making enough money doing Linux installs and support to pay
rent and his bar tab. He said his customers were *very* happy with their
Linux systems.
