Me thinks you shouldn't sell it as Linux consulting, but rather a
business service solution or some sort of "marketing" term that
doesn't sound quite as tech and more appeals towards the business
heads. Afterall, they won't be asking for your help if they are a
techy.

That aside, If you can setup competitively priced and good service I
would imagine that you could do very well. YMMV :-)
