Yes. The Linux kernel and most programs bundled with it are licensed under the GPL, LGPL,or other similar license that permits commercial redistribution, as long as you make the source code available to your customers. If you want to sell copies of a pre-established Linux distro, make sure that it does not bundle programs that prohibit such activity.
