But I thought I would point out that "daemon", the ancient greek word for what we know call demons, means "guardian angel". Suggest if any more people want to mythologise about how many people do not use FreeBSD because of the scary demon that they come up with statistical evidence to back up this ridiculous assertion. Maybe Buddhists may get offended by "Redhat" since that is the name of a certain Buddhist sect (because they wear red hats :). Anyway if this belongs anywhere it belongs in "chat" not in questions. There is a debate going on there at the moment about a name for Release 5... -- Regards Cliff Sarginson The Netherlands Email: cls@raggedclown.net Tel : +31 (0)10 4764595 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
