Just look for stuff on 'Beastie' or 'Bsd' or other variations of spelling on it and also look for BSD daemon. There is stuff in the list archive and on the FreeBSD web site and on various online publications. There are links to information and copyright information on the FreeBSD web site. There will also probably be loads of people replying to tell you that it is not a devil but a character representing a daemon that is a helpful sprite and that it is not a logo, but a mascot. You can also buy stickers and plush toys, etc at bsd mall and probably other places. ////jerry > > Thank you! > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
