Here's the answer read this: Why a Penguin?

Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.
-- Linus Torvalds

Hmm.

A penguin is all dressed up with nowhere to go.

That link was fscking great!!!! It didn't quite explain WHY he actually chose the penguin, but it did let me know that he's a funny sonofab**ch!

You're right, great link! The part about women liking tux seems very true. My wife was so excited when I put Linux on our PC, because she thought Tux was much cuter than bill gate$. G'day all my Linux loving friends.

Or even the Windows Logo, square boxes are no good.

It's a bit off subject, but the yahoo store Directron carries some cool black keyboards that have a Penquin instead of the usual Windows logo thing.

Here's the link.
