If you're starting out small, might I suggest you try to service a niche
customer base that isn't being serviced by many other businesses? That way,
when someone wanting to order say, alpha distros, will be more likely to find
their way to your "door". Everyone wanting an i386 distro usually just goes
to linuxmall, or cheepbytes, or some of the other established debian
distributors.

That's nothing! If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
