LWN's Penguin Gallery
aqua writes "Linux Weekly News posted its penguin gallery, a collection of the various forms in which Tux has been used in logos and such. Some are quite entertaining." Great stuff! I'm glad LWN is doing this. I immediately sent them two new entrants myself. Perhaps you have a favorite penguin of your own for them. If so, please send it.
YES!!!!
Save it in the $windir/Wallpaper dir and select it as your background through display properties. I feel dirty now.

The original image (click on the image next to the first paragraph) plus an interview with Linus.
I originally designed that ASCII penguin (Tom improved on it afterwards).

man, that kicks all ass!
of course my work laptop is grumbling now, because I tried to set that as my "active desktop" background. see i figured "finally a reason to view my desktop as a web page!"
but I was wrong. it'll only let me view it in a window on my desktop. what fun is that???
Thanks also for the pile of penguin suggestions, it's going to take a long time to work through them all....

But it won't actually compile, because they've removed all the spaces. It would be cooler to take some of the kernel source (perhaps the smallest subset of 1.0.9 that compiles to a working kernel), somehow combine the files into a single C / asm source file, and make that into a picture. Like some of the entries in the Obfuscated C Contest.

70% of these seem to be Tux with a brand name plastered on his stomach.
We ought to try for more unique logos than that.
Also, they seem to be missing the alpha penguin. Not that I ever cared for him myself - I think he looks like daffy duck peronally.

It's really rather spiffy, although it gives your browser some grief.

We apologise for the inconvenience.
And of course the Linux Image Montage Project has lots of logos there, including their very own Tux.
They had a few good images,
The 'Good morning Mr. Gates, I'll be your Server today' withg a giant Tux looming over Redmond.

Speaking of learning C, does anyone know of a good resource for learning C on Linux, for someone who is already familiar with programming in general?
