Debian: Why? How? What next?
Why you should consider using Debian, some tips on how to actually use Debian, with a look into how Debian actually got where it is and where Debian is going in the future, both for Etch, and beyond.
[If you need a bio for me:
Don Armstrong is a Debian Developer who is active in end user support, package maintenance, legal issues affecting Free Software, and works on the Debian Bug Tracking System. He is also a graduate student at the University of California, Riverside in the Cell, Molecular and Developmental Biology program, where he uses Debian in his research.

NB: As far as contacting Seth Schoenberg, he'd be an ideal person to have talk about DRM and TPM; he's also relatively well versed on the impact of these aspects on GPLv3. (If you're interested, you can see a talk I gave on that subject as well here: http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2006/debconf6/theora-... )
