The History of Tux the Linux Penguin

"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."

The History of Tux the Linux Penguin

Tux made it into Time Magazine in August 2002 in an article by Chris Taylor entitled "The Little Penguin That Could".

Umm.. You don't have any gap to fill in.

"Linus likes penguins". That's it. There was even a headline on it in
some Linux Journal some time ago (I was bitten by a Killer Penguin in
Australia - I'm not kidding). Penguins are fun.
.
As to why use a penguin as a logo? No good reason, really. But a logo
doesn't really ave to _mean_ anything - it's the association that counts.
And I can think of many worse things than have linux being associated
with penguins.
