  A comment at the bottom of the copyright page would probably be the
easiest way to make sure www knows what to say if someone asks.  There is
no mention of context-of-use restrictions or any other restriction.

  I don't think having Tux in this context would increase confusion; it
may actually help since drawing attention to the fact that NetBSD
"emulates" Linux should make it obvious that NetBSD is not Linux.

  Yeah, that page I really don't like, particularly if the intention is to
trim text to what someone thinks is a single page.  The side bar is not
necessary if header and footer with links to the home page are used.  The
text of the sidebar is rather long for putting it everywhere.

  Adding a logo that links back to the home page to the top of other pages
would be fine, but there is no reason to do that to the home page itself.
