Yeah, so I've always wondered then, why is "Gentoo" linux a 'cow' theme
distro? Please tell me it's not because gentoo rhymes with 'moo'.
While the whole "mascot" thing is cutesy, I personally feel it is one of the
factors in keeping linux in the fringe markets. Professional people want
nice symbols and logos, not a cute meaningless animal. Even 'Red Hat' has
enjoyed as much success as they have, I'm sure in part because of the link
between 'black hats' and 'white hats'.
