But you can still find the download link.  They had to put up that "money
hungry" page that loads when you click on downloads, because they are in
financial trouble. If that page is disturbing, then go directly to a mirror
site like ftp://kddlabs.co.jp or whatever. But as I said before
http://www.debian.org doesnt't have any page like that, you are free to use
that distro too.

Moderators on slashdot would have put you down with a "-1 Troll".
