I love free software and it world-wide community and I try to say Gnu - Linux (hi RMS!) when ever possible. unfortunatley its like the US Govn't, They listen to $100,000,000 lobbyists, not to joe citizen who may write a letter. This is how the DMCA, broadcast flag laws got passed. MS Pays them for the advert. Maybe we can setup a fund and tell Debian proper to direct this fund to pay Tiger Direct to post OUR Banner, web link, etc. This would be cool! -Kev
