Yes, OOS can be the basis of a business.  You can earn a living in
several ways:

1/ Consultancy: Implementing/customising OSS based solutions for people
that want the products but don't have the time/skills

2/ As a part of other services: eg. web hosting

3/ Solutions: similar to consultancy but you decide on the combinations
of OSS packages, get them working and build a product out of them.  You
then sell this package together with your implementation/support skills
as a complete solution.

4/ other???
