About the Penguin

 < Day Day Up > 



You may have been wondering about the penguin in the chapter title, so I might as well explain that now. The penguin is the Linux mascot, and his name is Tux (see Figure 1-1). This explains not only the ornithological references and graphics throughout the book, but also why there are so many penguin icons in Linux distributions and so many programs that include “penguin” or “Tux,” like TuxRacer, XPenguins, and Pingus. This also explains why Linux users are sometimes referred to as Penguinistas.
