So... This thing got me curies and I went to verify some information. http://d-source.co.il are resellers of http://affordy.com which delivery hardware + software for the home marked based on Ubuntu. 1. They will support you in your first steps of connecting to the Internet by working with the ISP. 2. They sell Monthly (100NIS) / Yearly (600NIS) technical support. A home visit will cost you 250 NIS. Their support covers PC not booting, no X and other "user land" stuff. From the business point of view, they've sold ~100 PCs in Israel and are expending abroad. Their offer includes Ubuntu core + 3rd party software (mostly binary freeware such as Skype, games and toys). It's seems like a small PC shop (6 employees with hardware backing from d-source). On the community side, they have plans on donating hardware for ubuntu.org.il, I'll believe it when I see it happening. All in all, this seems like win-win situation for us all.
