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
