After picking the name Devil Free BSD I thought about the name some more.

In reflection, I realized that the name I chose was actually ambiguous.

Sure, my inent was to convey that my prayers caused the source code to be devil free; however, I soon realized that the name could be interpreted as the Devil's own brand of BSD.

Whooopeeeeeeeee!!! Ten minutes ago the postman delivered the long-awaited parcel. Now I'm going to be as patient installing it, as I have been waiting for it to arrive. Going to read all the instructions here, and here carefully, before I do anything else.

The Linux Penguin: Apple Eater, Glass Breaker

What I've noticed about the logos for proprietary operating systems is that they're all inanimate objects, while the logo for Linux is a live animal -- one that can easily tear an apple apart and peck at Aero Glass until it breaks.

I did post a thread on PCW Forums about this but decided to take it here as it sure would get more respect on LQ, which is Linux-centric, than on a forum where there is so much M$ FUD that it makes no difference.
