Folks, please note how I changed the subject line since this isn't
on-topic for the original discussion.  I know I'm harping about this,
but you're going to make it much more difficult to collate real
recommendations from angst-ridden diatribes in the end.

The main idea here is to get vendors to add FreeBSD logos to their
web pages.  While I'm not opposed to awarding logos to *anything*
that runs on FreeBSD, I'm not sure we need to try to stick a daemon
on ls or make.

On the other hand, we do want OUR web page touting FreeBSD applications
to be complete, nay even exhaustive.  So I'll leave the above on the
list, and we'll work on fleshing out the accompanying list of applications
as the web page comes to life.  Many of those non-commercial applications
have web sites of their own, and might be willing to (ahem) chuck a
daemon on their page.  ;^)

I'm home sick today.  I really am sick, and far too tired to write code 
that has to keep up with a 1,000,000 packet per second switching backplane.  
Apparently not too sick to outrun Jason, though.  ;^)
