The History of Tux!

Well, I was reading a book on Visual C++ programming based on the Windows API without using the AppWizards and the rest, and somehow, I was compelled to learn the origin of that little penguin called "Tux". Well, surprise surprise [not really], a simple Google did the job and came across a healthy site.

The history is filled with geeky humor, so typical of anything remotely related to Linux [wink]. Baker has kept a tab on why penguins? How the name came to TUX and so on... It's an interesting read, if you don't have much to do! You can find more about it here - SJ Baker.org/Tux. Also please check out the different logos amongst which our Tux competed and won.. They are all put up here - Linux Logo Competition!!
