They are all separate entities from Linux. They are independent companies that offer distributions. They are not Linux - so they can not claim the Linux logo for themselves. On the other hand, FreeBSD is FreeBSD and should use the FreeBSD logo: Beastie. If Beastie is more representative of the project and its product than its name, why should we reduce Beastie to a stuffed animal if we can have Beastie as our logo. If we could rename the entire project to "Beastie", we probably should ;-) chris@czv.com +41 329 41 41 41 Chris Zumbrunn Ventures - http://www.czv.com/ Internet Application Technology - Reduced to the Maximum
