+ | ====== The Raccoon Mascot ====== | ||
+ | MINIX 3 has a mascot: a raccoon. The raccoon was chosen because raccoons are small, agile, intelligent, friendly -- and best of all -- eat bugs (at least, when there are no garbage cans available). And, being cute doesn't hurt either. | ||

+ | The MINIX 3 raccoon has no name yet; so, in the spirit of open names, we would like MINIX 3 users to come up with a name. Robert Raccoon? Roberta Raccoon? Roger Raccoon? Andrew Raccoon? Raccoox? Racux? Suggest your own name. Need some inspiration?
