Actually, to really match the current image of  linux,  the
best idea would be to have two people. One would be dressed
in "business" attire; the other would be made  up  to  look
like RMS.

After all, linux is slowly invading both the  business  and
government  arenas,  while in the background the developers
are all subversive hippie/commie types.  Right?

One of the shpiels could be about how we agree with all the
Microsoft  FUD.   We  could quote Linus, to the effect that
we're trying to take over the world, while  Bill  Gates  is
trying to make a stable, reliable computer system.
