There isn't a fuss. Someone asked for help. The only fuss is coming from Ted, who insists that any slight against Beastie is a Fundamentalist Christian Crusade. Never mind that cartoon figures are generally seen as unprofessional, regardless of implied, explicit, or perceived religious affiliation or lack thereof. FreeBSD, according to Ted, isn't about open source and freedom of choice; NO WAY can we help people change the boot screen! FreeBSD is about Christian-bashing, isn't that right Ted? If someone wants a less cartoonish, more Serious(tm) Down-To-Work Terminal(R)(!), without cute bubbly images of Beastie or any other image, it's our responsibility -- on -questions -- to answer their (gasp!) questions, or to keep our mouths shut. Sincerely, Someone of a religion that's none of your business who wants the inter-religion bickering to end and for people to respect eachother's beliefs and preferences
