Well this might not help you right away but the growth rate of Linux seems to be
fast enough that that local professional help should be avalable soon, just a matter
of time. Maybe any day or maybe a few years. If you do a search and find the
statistics for linux growth and extend the curve into the future a bit I think that
you
will see that more local help is not to far off in the future.
Maybe it's time to start a local users groupe in your area.
