Nobody's gonna force you to make new tattoo. Nobody's even gonna force you to use the logo, if you dislike it. But IMO this funny red ball _r_e_a_l_l_y_ looks more attractive for newbies. At least, my co-workers (average PC users) have found it "friendly" and "intriguing", even "sexy". There's enough place for sysadmins-"old salts" with Beastie tattoos, who, in fact, prefer FreeBSD not because of its "visual identity" at all. But heading towards FreeBSD as a popular desktop/home OS we must propose to the masses something shiny and sophisticated. Hey, Beastie is still here ;) Best regards, Alaksiej Carniajeu /AC Nicole wrote: >On 03-Nov-05 My Homeland Security "observers" reported that Chad Gross said: > > >>I am glad I am not the only one.
