Great idea!!! heh....I wouldn't mind using a FreeBSD theme on my Win95 machine. :) And the stickers is a great idea. I too have see the "Cool it works with Linux" logo on software sites and in magazines....FreeBSD needs the same so that people will know that "Hey, this peice of software works with FreeBSD!" If they don't know what FreeBSD is, maybe it will spark their curiosity to find out. Right? The problem I see is that the stickers cost money to produce. But, they could be a neat add on to the cd's that are shipped from Walnut Creek cdrom. Right? And as far as the "Designed for FreeBSD" logo is concerned, won't the FreeBSD team have to be buddy-buddy with the software/hardware vendors? Just wondering. Anyways, I like the ideas. So when is all this gonna take place? (reffering to the stickers and logos and stuff like that?) I'd like to part of the action somehow.
