Kirk claims that it was a "Walnut Creek marketing droid" who invented the name Chuck. A number of the FreeBSD people, I think including Jordan, claim that the name has been around a lot longer, and that de facto, his name *is* Chuck. Personally, I dislike the name "Chuck". If he has to have a name (which Kirk thinks he shouldn't), I think he should be called bsdd. Greg
