I'd be quite upset if it were dropped for whatever reason. It is so intimately tied to FreeBSD that it would be a PR disaster if it were to be changed. NetBSD never had a real logo, and it's their choice (though IMHO not a very good one; even a toaster would have been better!), but changing FreeBSD's most widely recognized brand would be just plain stupid. Imagine Linux dropping Tux for some meanlingless, lifeless logo? Hands off from our beloved Beastie! > ...my 2 cents... Regards, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
