All you would need to do is find a dependable source (or sources) of decent priced hardware that runs freebsd. You charge a little more than the store, and have them drop-ship to the customer. Real profit will not be made if the business does not do much business, but no energy will go into it either. You have pointed out a gap in the industry, why not take advantage of it? -krzee
