I agree totally. A few of the small businesses close to my home even have unencrypted wireless connections, hosting their email/docs at google would be a significant benefit. The problem is, how will they ever find out or use a service like this from google?
Personally, I run my own small business and I switched to Google apps for your domain awhile back and love it. I don't miss using outlook or thunderbird either. Yes, I have reservations about hosting my data with google and considered setting up my own email server on a VPS or locally. But then I realized why do I want to have to mess with administering an email server, when I should be running my business.
Plus, one of the main benefits I have found to using writely/docs is the collaboration feature. No more sending word documents/spreadsheets back and forth, two people can edit a spreadsheet and see results in real-time while they chat about it.
In Ubuntu you can set a root password with sudo passwd and then "be" root for a series of tasks.
