Great advice Bingo.

Even though "linux" is heavily saturated what about more specific keyword phrases with linux? Have you done any research on that? I know a lot of people ask about the difference between linux and windows hosting here. Say that is an article on your site. You could explain the difference in layman's terms and then suggest the best linux hosts to your audience and use an affiliate link.

Bingo's right. Even if you made $25/month in the beginning just from hosting affiliate programs, I'd call that a success. Sounds like you enjoy the topic so why not explore it more. See what's out there now on this topic and figure out how you can set yourself apart from the competition.

Just to inspire you, I was in college when I started all this. I was making like $6/month in commissions on Amazon.com at first. It wasn't a lot but as I learned more about affiliate marketing and kept building my site, my traffic and revenue grew. Start small with what you know and love and take it from there!
