This is kind of similar to issue #20 but also a little bit different.

FreeBSD is not a Linux distro. But when you run zeitfetch on FreeBSD, it uses the Tux logo of Linux.

I suggest adding:

  • A generic Beastie that is used across all BSD
  • Specific logos for popular BSDs such as:
    • FreeBSD
    • OpenBSD
    • NetBSD

Here's an example of what Beastie can look like in ASCII:

                ,        ,         
               /(        )`        
               \ \___   / |        
               /- _  `-/  '        
              (/\/ \ \   /\        
              / /   | `    \       
              O O   ) /    |       
              `-^--'`<     '       
             (_.)  _  )   /        
              `.___/`    /         
                `-----' /          
   <----.     __ / __   \          
   <----|====O)))==) \) /====|      
   <----'    `--' `.__,' \         
                |        |         
                 \       /       /\
            ______( (_  / \______/ 
          ,'  ,-----'   |          
          `--{__________)          

This one is taken via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_Daemon#ASCII_image from an ASCII art image made by Felix Lee. According to Wikipedia this one appeared in the startup menu of FreeBSD version 5.x and can still be set as startup image in later versions.

Not saying to specifically take exactly that one and you'd want to check copyright status first before using it but just to give an idea of how others have represented Beastie in ASCII art before.

Someone with good ANSI art skills can probably make something that looks much more the real Beastie image that that though, with colors and all.

I like this and I agree! Any takers for suggested custom ANSI art piece?

I'll find a sensible default and credit appropriately if nothing else comes up in a while.
