Prices-Terms
Now if you 'buy' a branded version it will stay as yours for a period of 6 months at a cost of 2.000 USD
for the whole period (or 3.000 USD for 12 months). This could mean if you select a top-end distro like PCLinuxOS
it is downloaded and installed on machines worldwide possibly up to 20,000 times in that period.
Your logo would also appear under 'sponsors' on my site during the same period at no extra cost, being watched
by some 180.000 visitors in a 6 month period.
Less downloaded distros will cost less. Statistics for all appliances are available but generally the pattern is the same as as that of Distrowatch.com.
Invoicing.
We will of course provide official billing and invoicing. Payments will be accepted via wiretransfer or Paypal.
Payment terms
25% on sign-on.
25% after 3 months
50% on sign-off.

Branded Virtual Appliances
Get your own branded distro as a virtual appliance.
I have built virtual appliances for VMware (the FREE Player and Workstation) since about 1 year and have become one of the biggest, if not the biggest, contributor to the VMware Appliance Marketplace. I am of course also a registered member of the VMware community.
More than 4000 appliances are downloaded every month from this site which has a unique visiting rate of about 1000-1200 daily and a monthly hitrate of more than 500.000. Access to statistics is available upon request.
We can provide branded versions which are then presented on the site for downloading as REGULAR downloads. This means that when an existing or new distro XYZ is published on the site it is branded with your artwork, logos, information, theme-colors and perhaps other special promotional features. The browser would also have your homepage as the starting page of course. I can also compile some of your application(s) or video-presentations etc. into the distro so that your products are easily accessible to all users downloading the appliance. That's all up to you.
Have a look at some NON-published samples below to visualize what we can do....
