whyubuntu.com might be a good idea, it's a good marketing tool (domains names can be great marketing tools nowadays (just look @ getfirefox.com!) and well, it lets people advocate in a sensible manner. If people can put across good arguments rather than "Well, Linux is cool, and stuff" - then, why not set it up? I'd be happy to lend my Web Development expertise to a project like this, and can probably find a designer who's interested in doing this also. If you're willing to fund this, then I'm willing to help out as much as I can. I've BCC'd this to my designer friend, I'll let you kow if he's interested in helping out! --- Regards, Martin "Mez" Meredith
