You want to convey the 'right' definition of "Free". Have the daemon leaving some broken shackles behind. The daemon unlocks his ankle shackle with a key that has "freebsd" written on it. The daemon has sawed through the bars of his jail cell and next to him you can see a cake with "Happy Birthday FreeBSD" written on it. You get the idea. Beaches, sailboats, and hot air baloons also connotate freedom. Regards, Mark Hittinger bugs@win.net
