What about one of those colourful logo's made up around 4 months ago.
GNU's are good ;).  What is a baby Gnu called?

Goals?
        I know I would love to be able to use GNU/Hurd as a firewall
between
2 networks, either cable or dsl, or straight ethernet.  I know you
are
looking at some of this Jeff.

        I'm starting to look at libps, ps, and procfs to see if I can
make
a simple version of top for GNU Hurd.  Neal also said procfs should
be
rewritten to use libnetfs instead of libtrivfs or something like
that.

        I mentioned this to Ryan but I think it would be nice to add
a
--diff option to shadowfs to allow a programmer to get source, alter
it,
compile it and have the diff's from altering the program already
created in
the diff directory.

        Anyway, it's time to start reading mach.info.
