Re: [Cooker] The penguin's gotta go.
I still really think the idea of any ansi/ascii stuff prior to the login is just plain ugly and unprofessional. I would much rather see stats on the system (ie. use linux_logo to produce a nice display of uptime, bogomips, load average, CPU/RAM info, etc.). Hear, hear.

Sure, but not everyone (gasp!) uses the GUI. On one of my mdk boxen, I never go into X because I don't need to. That machine is strictly for building updates, so X has no need to be loaded (saves me some memory for compiling stuff anyways). On my workstation, I use GDM, and like it, but I still use the console occassionally (not an xterm). Then I get to see the ugly penguin (well, not anymore).

Re: [Cooker] The penguin's gotta go.
What am I missing...?
1. a logo that won't stay onscreen once I login (beyond a few lines)
2. a screen that is useless until I login
3. a screen (Ok, 6) that is not visible when X is up
For the insignificant amount of time it takes one to login and scroll off this
logo, we get this l..o..n..g thread...?
Sounds like we need a [EMAIL PROTECTED] list... :

Linux and not FreeBSD... =)
I still really think the idea of any ansi/ascii stuff prior to the
