I ran this by our marketing exec - he thinks it give associations to
"boy's rooms OS".  I tend to agree with him.

He is usually quite good at this kind of stuff, but said he needed a
mission statement to be able to give it a go.

So - what image do we want FreeBSD to project?

My priorities are
* Professional
* Fast
* Powerful

in that order.

Can somebody else come up with a better definition of what we want to
communicate?

Eivind.
