More than just that:
shameless promotion of an *illegal* product that *won't ever work*.
You can't just create a TLD all of your own and ask ISPs to list you as a
root nameserver.
There's nothing that prevents me from doing the same for just the same
TLD, and where will that get us?
People say their stuff is on http://download.linux/.
On your server, that points to say
http://linux-sucks.spam.fud.microsoft.com/, on mine it points to
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/.
So, someone going there could get either page, yet another third page of
someone else doing the same, or simply nothing because the ISP didn't list
any of the servers as new root nameserver.
This offer is nothing more than an attempt at making money from Linux
users who aren't familiar enough with DNS servers to know what's going on
here.
Also, you are in clear violation of the terms you agreed to by subscribing
