When you place it, consider linking it to a history or some explanation or something. He's certainly cute and all that, but I've always wondered just what he has to do with Gentoo, having the feeling that there's some symbolism or something that I'm missing. My opinion is that without some sort of explanatory link, all he does is reinforce the already too prevalent idea that Gentoo is just for a bunch of spaced out ricers and fringe users that don't have anything better to do with their computers than compile and recompile all day. It's just noise on the page that doesn't seem to apply to anything else on the page, and therefore doesn't look professional. Again, maybe I just missed the symbolism somewhere, but that's my opinion. Put a caption on him, make him link to something, and it'll look better. Maybe make him the documentation and help section icon? Or the icon for contact information (Gentoo developer listing, etc)? Something. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
