I have an idea that I would like to propose to the Debian Collective.
I have no care to purchase any of the Debian CD's as the network

First let me say Bruce, you've done a great job in the past, and I
realize it's been no easy task. You've taken a lot of uncalled for flack
recently, mostly due to misconceptions and pointless debates. When the
