The history of the Linux's Penguin logo.

The history of the Linux's penguin logo. Linus: So when you think "penguin", you should be imagining a slighly overweight penguin, sitting down after having gorged itself, and having just burped. It's sitting there with a beatific smile - the world is a good place to be when you have just eaten a few gallons of raw fish and you can feel another "burp" coming. Tux gallery here.

this post made slightly more sense before the gay penguin thread was deleted. Oh well.

So if Linux is a penguin that has gorged itself on raw fish... what do the raw fish represent?

The fish represent the souls of the code monkeys it has devoured....

Or something like that.

Hopefully, one of the raw fish represents the SCO corporation.

I skimmed through all of this stuff and found no comments about "Squeaky" from Pixar's Toy Story 2. He seems to look exactly like Tux.
