Clean, logical, concise, the three words I associate above all with FreeBSD. I would change all machines' loaders to this in a heartbeat, although others may have different ideas, which is where the space hopper comes in, I suppose. Nothing against the horned ball and your variant of the new graphics looks very neat and clean, but I'm used to having Beastie around. For some reason, this strikes the correct balance for me between nice graphics and too much "bling." My personal tastes only, naturally. That screenshot looks very professional. Well done, Oliver. Any chance of rolling another tarball with that theme for we traditionalists? Please? Best regards, -- Matt Dawson MTD15-RIPE matt@chronos.org.uk
