Ditch the daemon thing. Reminds me of Kolstad's talk at last year's Usenix, about how some ultra weird religious group found some "sixes" in their lizard logo. He finished up by waving the "demon" poster and saying "good thing we dedn't send them this". Just off the top of my head. I'd suggest a firetruck, loaded with coiled up ethernet cables and ladder racks and stuff, manned by Jordan and the gang, waving FreeBSD CDROMs instead of axes. The idea is they're firefighters, they have the tools to fix your problems, the ultimate network operating system, and so on...
