hmmm advice noted, I think I will do the same, to be on the safe side.

Ahh no artwork as yet, imagine Tux in a white square, that's it right now.

I was gauging interest first and looking for something apart from Tux to 
put on them.

Nothing like free speech and tolerance in the USA is there? Free speech 
as long as you are saying what I want to hear, tolerance as long as you 
do the same as I do.

I haven't seen one variation of the original Tux that I would consider 
to be better. What about Tux on one side and the BSDaemon facing him on 
the other side?

Has anyone got or have a link to a high res BSDaemon? I have a 800x950 
full colour picture of Tux, something similar would be good.

Actually what is the copyright status of the BSDaemon? I know anyone can 
use Tux linked with Open Source Linux stuff.

One of the things I love about Tux being the mascot, it's one of the 
dumbest mascot's I have seen, *despite* this fact more and more Fortune 
500 companies are getting on board.

I also love the fact that companies such as IBM are pouring millions of 
dollars into the development and enhancement of Linux. I then have all 
of those available to me for less than $25, including postage and handling.
