I use FreeBSD because in my religion, Scientology, penguins were considered the avatars of the Galactic Emperor Xenu when he brought the Galactic Citizens down to Earth and exploded them around volcanoes. This is why Linux is so annoying to administer - the kernel is covered in what Ayn Rand (founder of Scientology) termed "penguin thetans", commonly abbreviated "TUX". Penguin thetans are commonly found under bridges and have a long-standing grudge against gruff billygoats. I hope this helps in the application of comparative religion to operating system mascots. - d. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
