i voted for ubuntu, and i don't even use it
i'm surprised that suse's lizard is at the top, don't get me wrong, it's my distro, but i always thought the lizard is a bit retarded
re: Mascot
That's funny, I voted for the Lizard and I don't like/use SUSE.
re: Mascot
Same here.. I've always liked SUSEs reptile. Red Hats logo came in a close second though.
SUSE
I like this suse's little crocodile!
re: SUSE
crocodile? lol
re: Mascot
It's not a lizard, it's a chameleon...
My vote goes to the old FreeBSD devil with sneakers
re: Mascot
I'm from TN, they're all lizards to me.
EDIT: Wikipedia: Chameleons (family Chamaeleonidae) are squamates that belong to one of the best-known lizard families.
re: Mascot
Well, chameleons are indeed a family of animals belonging to the suborder of lizards. Like a human is a primate. One is a collection where the other belongs to. In short: a chameleon is a lizard, but a lizard is not necessarily a chameleon.
By the way: a gecko (the Firefox engine) is a lizard too!

Yeah, he's cute. I almost put that one in the poll, but he's been replaced. The new one is more modern/trendy looking, but doesn't have the same appeal.
re: Mascot
I found this on Wikipedia:
"Initially, FreeBSD employed the BSD Daemon as its logo, but in 2005 a competition for a new logo was arranged. On October 8, 2005, the competition finished and the design by Anton K. Gural was chosen as the new FreeBSD logo[4]. The BSD Daemon will remain as the FreeBSD Project mascot."
So the cute devil has not retired yet... fortunately, because I *hate* the new logo!
