Hmmm... you'd be happier with me as a middle-man than Jack?

I understand there is to be a wiki page about os-less suppliers.
What you seem to advocating is some sort of central clearing house for
advertising (all done in the best possible taste of course).

HBCLinux.net.nz *could* offer vendors a chance to provide specific
OS-less configurations to the linux market. That would fit in with what
it is *for*.

Comments anybody?
