Yes. The Linux kernel license allows you to charge money for it. However, you cannot in turn stop buyers from charging others for it or giving it away for free. Depending on what software you want to include in your distribution, the license for it may be more or less restrictive. If you create your own proprietary software and include it with the distribution you can forbid people from copying or selling that particular program.
