I agree, FreeBSD is serious OS, and it's not good idea to add ASCII beastie and other fancy stuff anywhere (not into loader menu, nor into motd). But, if by any chance thing like this happens, I think it's best to make it eye candy as much as possible. For example, `FreeBSD' would look better in anti-aliased way, like this (just an ugly example): .sssso .ss. .ss. .sss. d' d' `b d' `' $ `& $, .ss. .ss. .ss. $ .P ?. $ `o $$so d' `' d' `b d' `b $ssss. `*o. $ @ $' $ @ssssD @ssssD $ `b `b $ .P $ $ q. q. $ .P ,. .P $ .* $ $ *ss* *ss* $ssss* ^ss' ?ss*` -- Best regards, Dmitry mailto:amdmi3@mail.ru
