[wellylug] Starting a linux business

I was laid off last week, and decided to go ahead and start up a
consulting firm.  After some research I've decided to focus on migrating
folks from Windows onto Linux - at both the application and code levels.

Post-migration I plan on referring people to existing commercial
support.  So far I know Novell (SuSE) and Catalyst (Ubuntu); is there
anyone providing support in the small business space? How about other
distros?

I'm specifically looking for smaller, support-focused types rather than
the big multinationals like EDS and Unisys; anybody who needs them for
support isn't likely to be consulting me in the first place.


PS - contact me off-list if you're offering advice, condolences,
congrats, or work; I'm trying to stay on this side of the list
guidelines. Thanks. :)
