Could we put this number somewhere on www.debian.org? It's a good marketing thing, I'd say ("Whaddaya mean, `Debian is a marginal dist'? Look how many users are on our announcements list!") Bye, J PS: Another publicity item that I can't get out of my mind would be a collection of "Testimonials" and/or "Famous Users". What do you think a "Neal Stephenson uses Debian" would look? And if we'd get him to write a paragraph... *droool* Of course we'd have to (try to) get permission from the various `entitied'. PPS: Yes, it might be taken as `evil'... but the people who are smart enough not to be influenced by such tactics are (probably) already using Debian anyway (;-) and the rest... let me just say that we owe it to our fellow being not to let them be sucked in by SuSE etc ;-) PPPS: Some sites that have this: userfriendly.org, zope.org. -- Jürgen A.
