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? > As much as I like FreeBSD, I might have to switch if we got rid of the daemon. I like it so much it's on my startup screen. I even like it better than tux, and I like tux a lot. -- Gary Dolan Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, Kernel 2.4.8 FreeBSD 4.3 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
