If i sold you a virus proof computer? -

would you buy it? if i start my own opensource computer repair/maintanance business do you think it will succeed? if i build computers install linux on them like ubuntu/linuxmint would anyone be interested in buying an ubuntu machine? i sent an email to canonica and they said they approve of it and they will help me with tech support as well. It will be a computer place with all open source gadgets and free software. and ill sell computers cheaper because i dont need microsoft licencing on my custom built computers. and from there i would expand it to include gadgets as well. like opensource netbook/ notebooks/ cell phones. would it grow? linux is growing but what do you think?

It would not be feasible unless you start a network of distributors throughout the country to support and service your products. No one across the country will buy your product without assurance that they can get local support.That is why I prefer to sell things like stress-relievers and lapel pins, they require zero after sales support.

1. I wouldn t believe you. No such thing as a virus proof computer.2. No one will buy Linux because the vast majority of software runs on Windows.3. A little guy such as yourself may not be around to honor your warranty.4. Even with not paying for Windows you won t undercut the big guys on price.Those are the biggest reasons I wouldn t buy from you. Sorry.
