Now that's a good idea.
  
Forgive the HTML message.  Here's where some of the Fedora, Red Hat, and Linux terms stand for Google's AdWords:

Estimates for the maximum CPC: $4.96 USD
Keywords Avg. Position Clicks / Day Cost / Day Avg. CPC Status
Overall 1.0 1,323.0 $928.49 $0.70 -
Fedora 1.0 73.0 $23.90 $0.33 Active
Fedora Core 1.0 40.0 $6.07 $0.15 Active
Linux 1.0 940.0 $715.68 $0.76 Active
Red Hat 1.0 150.0 $119.29 $0.80 Active
RedHat 1.0 120.0 $63.54 $0.53 Active
Estimates for these keywords are based on clickthrough rates for current advertisers. Some of the keywords above are subject to review by Google and may not trigger your ads until they are approved. Please note that your traffic estimates assume your keywords are approved.

Looks to be out of reach.
