Super-Penguin , Here is a collection of the interesting penguins we have been able to find out there on the net. Note that we're not trying to gather up every occurence of a penguin somewhere - the idea here is to catalog the "derivative" penguins that are on the loose. Please click on the web URL given below to see penguins in different imagination.
In the beginning, sometime in early 1996, several people were talking on the linux-kernel mailing list about a suitable logo/mascot for Linux. Of the many, many suggestions, many involved parodies of other operating system logo's - or were strong, noble beasts such as Sharks or Eagles. At some point (I'm not sure when), Linus Torvalds (the father of Linux) casually mentioned that he was rather fond of Penguins - which rather stopped the debate in its tracks.
