And the non geeks want to stick to Windows. But this is my opinion. I am sure you would have done some research before starting the business. All the very best. I wish you success. We need more people like you who want to be on their own. Out of my experience (in engineering line), I would also inform you of the requirement of service people even before you start selling. People will be willing to wait even for a day or two when they buy from a reputed brand, but will want you 'yesterday' when they are dealing with a small/start up company. I did try Linux based systems for our machines (control and data acquisition system) - They worked brilliantly even out performing Windows. BUT I had to turn back to Windows the ONLY reason was service and support. It was very easy for our clients in the North to get a local computer technician to sort out issues in a Windows machine. The funny part was that even hardware issues will not be addressed by the technician because Linux was installed in it!
