Deed GNU/Linux - Debian Enterpize EDition.

Rationale - enough talking about software freedoms, enough waiting for companies to come with enterprize solutions for a reasonable price. It's time for use, users, to do something that works for us. It's time for Words to be followed by Deeds. Deed means business. Deed will stand right after Debian in alphabetically sorted lists of distributions. "Deed" is shorted than "Debian", and the distibution will be smaller as well.

glance, that's what I thought it said, too =P
