Re: FreeBSD's Visual Identity: Outdated?
"``eudaemonia'' is the state of being helped or protected by a kindly spirit. As a rule, UNIX systems seem to be infested with both daemons and demons." That could be a daemon of -STABLE branch, but in reality... No, eudaimonia (how its spelled in greek), it's almost similar to euphoria, meaning the state where the good daimons are in control, in general it means happiness, not safety. So eudaimonia, rather describes the -CURRENT instead! -- -Achilleus ___ freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-advocacy To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Although I agree about the meaning of "eudaemonia", the link and association with STABLE and/or CURRENT is at least far-fetched :P Can we all move on and do better things that argue about demons, daemons, evil or good spirits, the religious beliefs of everyone, and other such not-really-beneficial-for-FreeBSD things? If some of you want to help us improve FreeBSD, then stop arguing about religious and spiritual things and prove you can do something with a "real" impact on the current stateof FreeBSD, such as: - Submit a fix for one of the existing bugs - Improve an existing feature - Add new features - etc. Regards, Giorgos ___ freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-advocacy To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If an OS wants to show (off) that "manly", then leave only 2 lists : -hackers, and -current, (ok and -stable for the incompetent poor users). If, on the other hand, by this way, you want to express some "call for arms" for potential FreeBSD kernel/port developers,(fishing them from these "light" lists), then i doubt you choose the right way. > > Regards, > > Giorgos > -- -Achilleus ___ freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-advocacy To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
