That's right, let's do all we can to discourage people from entering the
contest. I hate flaming, therefore I will not say anything more about
this--when I am this angry, it gets hard to stick to constructive
comments.

Maybe you haven't looked at the Debian Web site recently. It says
Debian GNU/Linux in big letters right at the top. If that's a problem
