Bruce, don't spend all your time worrying about how Debian is going to
be viewed by the rest of the Linux community.

fraction of the keyspace explored by that group, it could be found by
anybody. The

Why is it such a bad thing to beat the Linux group? The whole idea is to
increase the awareness of Debian Linux - when people see we're in the
number 2 slot or even number 1, we'll have good publicity.
I'd prefer to avoid the perception that we would work
