Being not religious myself, I do agree with what region [Christian?] says, almost all or it: you shouldn't steal, you shouldn't kill, you should be kind to others,... The only thing I disagree with is: they say God created people, I believe it is other way around: people created God for themselves. But as neither can be proven experimentally, the last in my book is really minor disagreement ;-) Valeri> Cheers, > Nick > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Valeri Galtsev Sr System Administrator Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics University of Chicago Phone: 773-702-4247 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

And if you pronounce the abbreviation of Berkeley Software Distribution (the one FreeBSD is successor of): BSD, and then "beasty" they sound not that different from one another ;-) Valeri> yet I fail to get reconciled with it.

I am > not following any FreeBSD activity or discussion. >*chuckle* I'm reminded of a column in SysAdmin, a long time ago. Seems the woman who wrote? contributed? to the column Daemons and Dragons was wearing a t-shirt with the logo, and she was traveling with some folks in the US South. She went in to pick up some bbq... and by the time she had the food and was walking out, was afraid that she might be attacked by one or more of the "Real Christians" in the shop, from the comments they made, because of the shirt. mark

I am not following any FreeBSD activity or discussion. > > Cheers, > NickThere was a contest to change the logo a while (10-12-ish years) ago, and the official logo is now that: https://freebsdfoundation.org/about-us/about-the-foundation/project/ However, that logo wasn?t universally liked by some core-members and it looks like the ?Daemon? is thus still in use. The ?Daemon? is IMO somehow more approachable and ?cute? if you want to say that.
