Well, not like that anyway. I'm quite happy to recommend Ubuntu as a good distro to start with, and maybe stick with if it suits them, but don't forget that this is a Linux User Group, not an Ubuntu User Group. (Incidentally, I'm an Ubuntu user (as well as Debian & WebOS, and previously pretty much any distro I could get my hands on), so it's not an elitist thing on my part). A simple Tux banner with a good, catchy "slogan" (for want of a better expression... my mind is all a fuzz at the moment... bloody rhinovirus!) would be far more appropriate.
