Yuck :-p

Well, actually, yes.  Remember, one of the guiding principles of *nix
is "Do one thing and do it well."  That's where we got all of those
great tools whose output can be piped from one to another, yielding
the desired result.  A bunch of simple things working together.

All OSes are complex, of course, but there are some that make complexity
a way of life, and others that are as complex as they need to be
while emphasizing the simple and straightforward wherever possible.

Another example: we have text-based config files, a good number of
which are fairly human-readable.  That other OS has the Registry,
which is not human-readable, and one wonders whether even the machine
finds it obtuse :-)

We may have to have more than one logo :-)  Perhaps Mauro's logo will be
the 10th Anniversary special, and the regular logo will be, well,
the regular logo.  If we make it the entire 10th Anniversary logo, I
suppose it can be scaled bigger, and have some text next to it like
"10th Anniversary 1994 - 2004" or something like that.
