      what's the deal with the name?
      what's the significance of the logo? why does it have bits missing from the rings?

        pfSense = packet filter sense

        p and the f is protected inside the rings.  the chomps taken out sorta mean that its a dangerous world and there is always something "nipping at you're heels" and the rings protect pf.  Or something.  ;)

          ta - i think it helps when doing themes and stuff to know what the important parts of the logo etc. are so you don't accidentally stomp on people's toes ;)
