Yes I would buy them in lots of 10-20 and include phone service with the sale of my linux computers.
They would love it, I have sooo many happy linux customers and many of them never even used a computer so the reverse learning or fear of change is not an issue.
Pretty much whatever people started to use they don't want to change. I remember having the hardest time excepting windows back when everything was dos, even all the games were dos.
However, with my new computer users buying a linux computer they just use it, join the linux community which I've setup a sort of what to do next document on their computer and they just use it and really no service involved at all EVER.
It's really amazing the difference in the amount of service calls I get between windows and linux computer sales.
I have only had 1 service call for linux out of 50 computers or so. But 1 out of 50 and not a glitch or some sort of repair job etc.
I get about 25 out of 50 calls on windows stuff, but only about 10 of those are things they cannot fix over the phone. And keeping in mind this is mostly new computer users. The windows users do not have as many problems, however I still have about 1 out of 10 at least have some sort of OS problem that needs fixing.I have some customers bring in their computer once a month on a regular basis because of things they messed up.S they have to bring in for reloading, or some other OS issue. Usually they downloaded some music or some music program or some sort of player that had spyware on it or something and they can't even boot now. It's taken over their computer.
They also decide to load other virus software on top of virus software that is on the computer even after telling them no too, but since they loaded a game or something that is messing up they don't know what else to do ? so they basically mess things up further by loading additional spyblocker which is a malicious software package, then yet another one on top of that trying to solve the problem by just downloading everything in site. And several free virus packages which some of them are viruses themselves LOL
Anyhow we are all aware of the problem for windows users. If you know what your doing you may not have those problems, but perhaps other problems.
But I must confirm this subject. Linux Users I sell computers to, even new users do not call me with problems about their computer nor do they call and complain about how they spend money on something and it's just not working right etc etc.
I can't help but notice the difference in the service calls. Granted that it's not good for business necessarily since I don't get many service calls on the linux computer, however I must say it's very peaceful to know that this computer sale will not be coming back again. And they refer others all the time so my advertising is down to almost nothing.
I tried linux as an experiment to see if another OS would run on these so called defective computer and they ran,run and keep going that says it all to me.
Anyhow lets keep the talking going for linux support.
And yes I would buy many of these MJ's for linux and include them with my linux computers.
