Tux
Tux the Penguin is the official emblem of {Linux}, This eventuated after a
logo contest in 1996, during which Linus Torvalds endorsed the idea of a
penguin logo in a couple of famously funny postings. Linus explained that
he was once bitten by a killer penguin in Australia and has felt a special
affinity for the species ever since. (Linus has since admitted that he was
also thinking of Feathers McGraw, the evil-genius penguin jewel thief who
appeared in a Wallace & Grommit feature cartoon, The Wrong Trousers.)
Larry Ewing designed the official Tux logo. It has proved a wise choice,
amenable to hundreds of recognizable variations used as emblems of
Linux-related projects, products, and user groups. In fact, Tux has spawned
an entire mythology, of which the Gospel According to Tux and the mock-epic
poem Tuxowolf are among the best-known examples.
There is a ?real? Tux ? a black-footed penguin resident at the Bristol Zoo.
Several friends of Linux bought a zoo sponsorship for Linus as a birthday
present in 1996.
