Some classic FOSShead contrariness on their part. They shoulda used the major release to officially rename it to GNU IMP, if you ask me. GNU could use the publicity and an "imp" is definitely cuter than a "gimp".

Imp isn't much better, especially south of the Bible Belt.

At some point they'll just have to grow up.

As much as do the people that get offended by the word "gimp", I guess.

How do they feel about unix daemons or the FreeBSD mascot?

My parents were quite tolerant of my devil worship[1], but they did tell me to hide my BSD Unix books when religious relatives visited.

[1] I think they knew Beastie was a harmless computer thing, but they also thought the moon was the size of a basketball.

And never mention chmod 666 or fsck...

Angry/hateful often enough to cause trouble.

They use Windows Server.

When I was a teenager I wanted to try FreeBSD but got turned away by the daemon mascot.

I didn't want my christian conservative parents to keep berating at me as if I turned in to the devil for choosing a OS that has a mascot that resembles one.

Shouldn't it expand to GIMP IMP? Or GIMP IMP IMP? Or GIMP IMP IMP IMP IMP? Maybe the fixed point is G...IMP?
