Linux 3.11 Officially Named "Linux For Workgroups"

Posted by samzenpus on from the same-great-taste dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Linus Torvalds decided to change the code name for Linux 3.11 and even submitted an alternate Tux Logo. Heise reports: 'For this release, Linus Torvalds changed the code name from "Unicycling Gorilla" to "Linux for Workgroups" and modified the logo that some systems display when booting: it now depicts a Tux holding a flag with a symbol that is reminiscent of the logo of Windows for Workgroups 3.11, which was released in 1993.'"

    Citation needed. Or, since you will never find correlation between quality and seriousness, how about some random off the top of your head examples cherry picked at random from unverifiable sources?
