I'm afraid that paragraph is completely wrong. The BSD daemon (sometimes called "Beastie", but that's not its official name) was not "struck from his position as a logo", and it was not "axed". The BSD daemon never was a logo of the FreeBSD project. It was rather a mascot (and it still is!). However, it was sometimes used in a context where a logo would be used normally, simply for the fact that FreeBSD didn't have a real logo. Now, after the result of the logo contest last year, FreeBSD has a real, official logo, in addition to the BSD daemon mascot. Just look at www.freebsd.org. It doesn't look axed to me. ;-) Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
