I have to disagree there. The Debian logo (swirl) and name are very professional IMHO. Or do you prefer the childish penguins stuck throughout Mandrake? - -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- chris@chrishowells.co.uk, howells@kde.org _____________________________ The Debian logo is good. But the web site is not. Xandros have improved Debian greatly. Mandrake need to take a leaf out of Xandros's book too. Tightly schooled structured programmers also need designers to work along side them. 'Given two equal products, the better designed will always outsell the other'. This is a well known saying in design and marketing circles. Linux shouldn't just 'sell' because it it cheap. It needs a design make over in places. Regards, Bruce.
