    1. bu**s**it, Beastie is **COOL** and would be a loss of identity if
    the logo would change;
    Dear Sir, please read the page where what greek daemons are explained..

    2. again, bu**s**it, the colors are not ugly at ALL, - and i'm not a
    fan of site's color theme coz i prefer blue-ish colors - again, think
    about identity...whenever one FreeBSD'er sees the logo/colors - on
    software packages, media and the like - he will know that product is
    related to FreeBSD

    3. please install FreeBSD couple of times, and afterwards you'll get
    to install it eyes- closed..

    thank you for reading and please excuse my excited tone,
    Daniel
