In 1996, when the 5-year-old Linux operating system began to be more widely used and talk began about the need to create a logo for Linux. Among them a penguin, a albatross, a platypus, an eagle, and a fox. A contest eventually was held to choose the logo.
A plump, content penguin--Not fat, but it's sitting down because it's really too stuffed to stand up, was choosen. "TUX" was his name. Tux--who according to Linux community legend wasn't named for his Tuxedo-like appearance, but rather is an acronym. Do you know what the TUX acronym means? "Torvalds' UniX"
