I appreciate the feedback, I tend to get lost in an idea, and don't always see all sides of it. The niche market sounds like a good idea though. I'll start prototyping a distro and see what I can do.

to the same conclusion (as Keith). If you can come up with a special
niche market, like a car/boat/RV computer or a DVR/HDTV computer for a
particular market that has some kind of Television access problem, then
you may find a way to profit. It is very hard to go up against the
low-end and sale machines at the stores. If you are a great seller,
you may be able to talk your way into some customers. In Florida, there
are a couple of small companies doing neighborhood wifi internet access
for a great price, but even they depend more on the internet charges and
the computer service calls than on system sales.
Service and training seems like the most profitable part of the picture
to me.
Still, I hope you find a way to do this. I hope I don't sound too
negative. I'm just a regular guy without any strict training or a
business degree, so I'm certainly not the last word on the subject.
