    My idea is NOT Fedora. Fedora is another Ubuntu or mandrake ect. My 
idea based on the commercial success of Red Hat is to sell Help. Real 
paid for help from experts. You go to Wal Mart and buy this Linux for 
say $50.00 American, and you have bought some real tangible Help. In the 
package is a code that gets you 2 months of help.

    This help is voice over the telephone or the Internet. The Help 
fixes the most vexing problems like no Desktop or no WiFi. It is fixed 
by d/l the proper stuff which will be there!
