I'm somewhat sympathetic to the general idea.
I'd point out on such a page, though that
- Debian can't only be used free of cost ("free beer") but also
that it is free in the sense of free software: you can use, study, share and improve it as you like.
- Though there are only marginal costs for you (CD/network), there are real costs for Debian infrastructure
and it contains the work of many people
Best wishes
