I think the article would be do well to include this quote (http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1135149) --Jonathan Drain 11:26, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
How about a link to the FreeBSD Devil? I have no idea what his name is though.
I've drawn quite heavily from http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,42209,00.html in the creation of the article... perhaps someone would like to just check it's OK? I've tried to keep it within the bounds of fair use... can someone check, please? Dave McKee
- It looks fine to me. MRC
- The FreeBSD daemon is name "chuckie". Links to other mascots (e.g GNU, the OpenBSD blowfish, etc) would be interesting. Start a new catagory if there isn't one already. Imroy
I would add a link to ThinkGeek (http://www.thinkgeek.com), since they carry a variety of Tux-related products, but it seems like that would be violating some general rule of the Wikipedia, since ThinkGeek is a commercial enterprise. Anyone have thoughts on this? -- bdesham
Added word disingenuously to describe attitude that no one noticed that penguin decor resembles a tuxedo. Ortolan88
What does the line in the 2nd para mean : "This may have been why a penguin was chosen, though." It was added by User:LittleDan (on 07:13 March 22). Does he want to say the penguin was chosen as the logo after the name Tux was chosen as the name for the logo ? Wasn't it the other way round, first the penguin was chosen and then a name given for it. Jay 10:04, Sep 12, 2003 (UTC)
- I read somewhere, I can't remember where, that they chose a the name because it was Torvalds UniX, and then made it a penguin because it looks why they're wearing tuxedos. I may be wrong. If so, please delete it. LDan 00:46, 14 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Image caption
The stuff about the concepts behind tux being developed on mailing lists isn't mentioned in the article itself. Is this actually true? Lupin 12:18, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- That's what the artist says. See external link cited in Tux article [1] (http://www.isc.tamu.edu/~lewing/linux/). I didn't go back to the lkml to actually review what was said.--Kop 03:07, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I think the captions on the Tux image in Linux and Tux would be better switched, as the Tux article caption is more about Linux and vice versa. But I've had too much back and forth about the Linux caption to want to make the change myself.--Kop 03:07, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
