It is a pretty good idea - but I'm sure (given the general trend of corporate
sponsored linux sites) that whatever advertising exists won't be as
in-your-face and irritating as (say) a geocities webpage.  The ads (if any)
will generally be for linux related stuff, I expect ...

And like I said, if the advertising gets too tasteless, the spread of several
small local mirrors means that people can go elsewhere, where there are not so
many ads (or use lynx <g>)
