When your market is small, it's important to sell through as many different channels as possible. Every one of them is important. You're right, selling Linux pre-installed on computers is very important. But if you don't have much presence in that channel, it's also very important to sell over the web, and it's also very important to sell from store shelves, and in fact any way you can think of.
Distributors are, and always have been, a big road block in the way of smaller software companies. Maybe someday all shopping will be done on the web, and distributors won't exist, but that day - if it ever comes - is far in the future.
