ubuntu-users would be a good list to ask on; lotsa people and you're
bound to attract the eye of one or more Canonical folk such as Matt
Zimmerman who have a special interest in such business opportunities.

Speaking of Ubuntu, the April 2005 (Hoary Hedgehog) is available right
now, and you can even get it on CD free of charge.

In addition to Ubuntu there's now Kubuntu - Ubuntu done with KDE 3.4 rather
than Gnome 2.10.
