Full ACK - folks, I think it's quite simple:
Tux - Linux Mascot
Beastie - BSD Mascot
Suse Logo, Redhat Logo, Mandrake Logo, NetBSD Logo, FreeBSD Logo, ...
None of the logos needs to feature
Hi!
Would it be a good idea to make a separate mailing-list for the logo,
or using logo-contest.freebsd.org for discussion and logo-suggestions.
I feel this is off-topic, and besides; it seems that the decision has
already been made to change logo, and keep

NetBSD did the very same thing last year, for very similar

at all; apart from that it's spelled daemon or dæmon.)
