Chucky is that satanic doll from those movies that comes back to life and kills everyone; "the daemon", "beastie", "that furry red thing" or whatever you choose to call it, is not named Chucky :) > - An attractive box with heavy contents adds $20 to software's perceived > value. Nah, I really don't think so. Even so, getting a better desgin on the package, really would not hurt in any way. I don't think as poorly as you do of the current CD packaging (having never seen it in person); but I do feel there's always room for improvement. P.S. A really neat idea might be a boxed Oracle distribution of some sort. But oh wait, they've got Linux division; not a FreeBSD one. Hell some sort of distribution including some big comercial package of choice would really be neat (Oracle 8, Now with FreeBSD). - alex Experience something different With our new imported dolly She's lovely, warm, inflatable And we guarantee her joy - The Police To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
