I'd prefer something that makes at least some kind of sense to
'general public', it does not have to be n eccessarily understandable
but it should at least catch attention. So I like more the 'cliche' ones
(of style apt-got debian?), or even fresh daily or something like that -
it can at least start conversation. I think '150% more free' is not
going to leave an impression, I guess lot of people would just block it
out and not even recognize it as a joke... if you want to go for obscure
then I'd say go for something boldly obscure (so that it's clearly
visible that it's obscure:-) I guess it all depends on why you want the
t-shirt...
as for 'boldly obscure' - you could go with apt-get update && apt-get
dist-upgrade (perhaps small letters with bigger letters saying fresh
daily or playing at server near you or some other commercial paraphrase)
