Please keep in mind that if you want to submit a graphic for putting on a t-shirt it should be 2000xX pixels and at least 200 DPI 300 is better.

You're right. Mine might be big enough for a hat. I'd buy one of those. You probably need more user/customers to turn any kind of profit from it. As of right now you'd be lucky to break even.
I think I speak for everyone when I say how much we appreciate the time and effort and money you have put into your project. The results are magnificent.

I am having issues with CafePress software ... Really buggy. I should have a couple shirts up for sale whenever they get things sorted out. That is assuming they do.

If I can get the artist who did the website banner to do another one for a shirt I will make one with a slogan.

I'll see about getting that artist sorted at some point but he's kinda busy atm launching his 3D design career... so if anyone with some decent ability in the Graphic Design area wants to put their hand up to donate some time and JPGs (or PNGs) that would be appreciated a lot.

For Cafe Press its recommended to use 2000x2000 images with at least 200 DPI you can set the DPI when you go to create an image in G.I.M.P . Under advanced options set X and Y resolution to 300. I have a couple shirt designs up at http://www.cafepress.com/salineos . I do not know how well the logo is going to look scaled up a bit on the shirts. I did some work on the image with inkscape and G.I.M.P but I am in no way a graphics guru (Unless you count my Pidgin icon as a true piece of art). The bash shirt is more than properly large and is in Monospace Bold the same as the SalineOS terminal. And yes, I did in fact put a bash script on a shirt.... If you want to submit a design for shirts please leave your image uncompressed when you save it with Gimp and just create an archive and attach to an email. Send to salinelinux@gmail.com

I will be buying one of the logo shirts ASAP and will let you know how they turned out, for now I cannot say how good its going to look. If they aren't any good I will take them down.

That's better.

That way people know it has something to do with computers.

@cristobal,
I like the infusion idea.
Can you make the computer fill most of the screen with the "bottle"
and only a portion of the hook and stand showing?
I like caps.

Problem is the way the shop is setup at the moment I have to have everything listed if I want to use an image. So, nobody wants a shirt with some bash written on it ?

Edit: Other than me that is

http://www.cafepress.com/salineos has a shirt with a bash script on it. Designed by me. The only shirt I am unsure how well its going to turn out when printed is using the logo from the webpage. It had to be up-sized and touched up using inkscape and gimp. I have one on order and I will let you know how it turns out.

Did not think it proper to put swear words on a t-shirt, but don't think it didn't cross my mind

Considering you have had to revise the manual 3 times in as many weeks, meaning there were inaccuracies and/or omissions, perhaps the "read the f'n manual" tude could be left to forums like aptosid and freebsd. Just a suggestion from someone who got told twice to read the manual, when I already had.
