I am a software engineer - 17 years. I'm all for FreeBSD and am considering installing it. I advise you to use a different mascot besides the little daemon. It's not good marketing. Also, you could spif up your web site and really make it fancy. This will attract people to FreeBSD. As Microsoft knows very well, it's not just the quality of the product - it's the presentation. FreeBSD is far superior to Windows in many ways. Why not get the attention you deserve by marketing yourselves much better? > > Thank You, > Greg McPherran Does Microsoft really know about quality? ;) Read the history of the Daemon, it is a good mascot. You prolly want to get rid of Indians, and other politically incorrect mascots from professional sports as well. ;) Beside, if people don't get it, maybe they shouldn't be here.
