知道Linux的吉祥物的名字和性別嗎

今天收到了這期的Linux Gazette，才知道原來Linux吉祥物還有一個名字叫Tux(英文直接翻譯過來是男士無尾半正式晚禮服，倒是和這個小企鵝的打扮很配)。它是一位男式，據說是迷倒一片(母企鵝)型的超級帥哥。它是在kernel 2.0版發布的時候正式誕生的。A Brief History Of Tux - So Far 給了這個帥哥的一個簡單介紹。

據說開始的時候在96年，大家就開始討論給linux定一個logo。 很多人的提議要么是模仿其他一些操作系統的logo，要么就是一些鯊魚、鷹這類比較強壯，大氣的動物。最后Linux它老爹Linus Torvalds說他喜歡企鵝，并覺它感到驕傲(可能企鵝象征了芬蘭這個雪國)。當時linus關于為什么選擇企鵝的電子郵件居然也被人保留到現在：

Re: Linux Logo

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.

Having a penguin as a logo also gives more freedom to people wanting to use linux-related material: instead of being firmly fixed with a specific logo (the triangle, or just "Linux 2.0" or some other abstract thing), using something like a penguin gives people the chance to make modifications that are still recognizable.

So you can have a real live penguin on a CD cover, for example, and people will get the association. Or you can have a penguin that does something specific (a Penguin writing on wordperfect for the WP Linux CD, whatever - you get the idea).

Compare that to a more abstract logo (like the windows logo - it's not a bad logo in itself). You can't really do anything with a logo like that. It just "is".
