Terrific. Let me toss an unpopular suggestion on the table. The internet startup I work for now was named "Computer Witchcraft, Inc." when I began. I fought and fought to have the name changed to something that would not be a liability in the real world. Ultimately I won out and the name is now "Win Net Communications, Inc." - boring - but time has vindicated me (business reasons now!). Let me suggest something along the same lines. Ditch the daemon thing. Use the american eagle from the presidential seal. A symbol of Freedom. Within its talons should be a couple of things we might use. Off the top of my head I think there should be a screwdriver in one talon and a stripped end of a piece of coax in the other :-) (so you can tell it is rj) Or maybe a screwdriver and a cd-rom. The NSA supposedly has a large mosaic of the eagle seal in their main lobby with a large skeleton key in one talon. At some point the demonic business comes back to get ya! Ditch it. Now I realize that there are many non-USA participants in the FreeBSD effort. I apologize to them for my yankee centered thought process. Maybe we could get a picture of the statue the kids put up in Tianamin (sp?) square and use her. Convert her torch to a cd-rom. You get the picture. I suggest freedom symbols for FreeBSD! Although Jordon and the core team may consider it a chain gang :-) Regards, Mark Hittinger bugs@win.net
