IANADD, but I think I can get rid of 10 umbrellas (ok, I count in 3 DDs I know :-/ ) or so. LinuxLand is not the only shop selling Linux and Debian things. In other words: I believe there are enough people spread all over the world to make it possible. The only problem would be coordination - but perhaps LinuxLand (or someone else with shop infrastructure) could be convinced to do it? I don't think I have the time to do coordination work on that scale myself, though :-( > To cut it all down: I'd prefer by far the big swirl (Eddy, please > tell us that it can be done affordably! ;-), but we have an > alternative if that renders unfeasible.

And, of course, with lower limits on the number to be produced. greetings - -- vbi - -- Today is Boomtime, the 64th day of Discord in the YOLD 3170 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: get my key from http://fortytwo.ch/gpg/92082481 iKcEARECAGcFAkCozfRgGmh0dHA6Ly9mb3J0eXR3by5jaC9sZWdhbC9ncGcvZW1h aWwuMjAwMjA4MjI/dmVyc2lvbj0xLjUmbWQ1c3VtPTVkZmY4NjhkMTE4NDMyNzYw NzFiMjVlYjcwMDZkYTNlAAoJECqqZti935l6DCEAoKzxRAA8Cr+3N5ZQCYxupygS MahkAJ98rzU7YBEsGNcgPeWtFjHwiLHLrg== =kw0l -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
