It was meant as a humour item for the Linux community. Internal humour
frequently isnt very funny to outsiders. I wouldnt want it as a T shirt
for example.

I think I'd have to order one if they did. The improved suggestion for a T shirt
bounced via a few people now is a BSD daemon and Penguin shaking hands (possibly
with a GNU somewhere around) and "Free Software Is About Co-Operation" on it.
The big issue with this is we _don't_ want a daemon anywhere on a real
Linux product logo (not only because of Kirk but also because the BSD logo
is found very offensive by some religious groups).

Ughh.. a BSD trashing CDROM logo is _definitely_ NOT what I'd want. Thats
bad.
