The problem about Debian is its nil-value as a vector for putting SEUL
in the hands of end users.  SEUL is not Debian to reach its users it
must be in a nice box and dsiplay in _BIG_ red letters LINUX Seul
distribution.  That box must be on a stand in an end-users store.

Debian is not in end users stores.  Worse once the Infomagic february
hits the stands it will nearly impossible to find Debian _even_ in
geeks stores here in France.  Only solution will be ordering by mail
from Cheapbytes.
