This is completely inappropriate commercial spam for a NetBSD group.
I was mildly annoyed when you posted this over on the Linux groups;
it's certainly off-topic there.  It's even more off-topic on
comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc; NetBSD users don't care what Linux
distributions you sell since they don't run Linux.

You're *plonk*d.
