I wonder if there could be some logo put on the FreeBSD page to let people know in case they want to get in on it. As it goes I never got into the University scene, I'm in my last (hopefully last) year of secondary education (Yeah that's High School... High's an emphasis on the average state of being). I lack major graphic talent anyway, I've always been the insane coder with the bizarre hours. Didn't they have some sort of contest on the FreeBSD page one time for artwork? Maybe it was somewhere else. --- Drew "Droobie" Baxter Network Admin/Professional Computer Nerd(TM) OneEX: The OneNetwork Exchange 207-942-0275 http://www.droo.orland.me.us My Latest Kernel: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT (ONEEX) #14: Mon Oct 19 22:36:58 EDT 1998 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
