Welcome to Gaia! ::

It looks like this guild is off to a pretty good start, despite its lack of members. However, the latter part of the sentence seems to be the biggest problem.

Thus the solution: what's the greatest way of advertising on Gaia? Signatures.

Suggestions for signatures ( or reasons to be opposed to the idea ) should be posted here.

My suggestion is that the signature should be:

Simplistic
Not very large
Not flashy
Should have a good catch phrase
Should have both tux and the BSD daemon on it

Anything with "Fedora" on it gets the veto treatment by me...

I won't be associated with the XP of linux, thx...

I think we should stay away from ALL distro-specific tags on the guild signature, personally... And any larger than 440x60 would make me cry... I'm not a big fan of image sigs anyway, the only one I have being my random calvin and hobbes quote which has to be done as an image...

Suggestions of course going out to my personal favorite:
just shrunk down a wee bit...

Then again I'm just an old fart compared to most of you, so my opinion will prolly end up redirected to /dev/null but at least I tried smile

Anything that can be installed in less than 5 minutes of user intervention is XPLinux...

That takes care of Fedora, RedHat, Mandrake, and most of their spinoffs...

It's mostly the lack of customization they provide the user... I personally *hate* Red Hat's carte blanch partitioning tool - it's the best way to ******** up a linux partition scheme I've ever seen... who the hell came up with it needs to be shot... There's a proper way to partition a drive for a linux system and it won't even LET you do that...

Mandrake's isn't much better... But at least Red Hat gives you the option to use fdisk... Mandrake last I checked pretty much said you're SOL if you don't have it pre-partitioned...

It's quite possible. I'm 19.

I like the "Don't fear the penguins" one too, Its simple and to the point, and isn't distro-biased.
