[This ain't a geeky post!] Everyone heard of Linux? Good. You know its mascot? Its a penguin, right. Know what its called? Tux, it is.
Tux has always been the mascot for Linux and nobody even thought of replacing it. The penguin was
Linus' (the creator) choice and now he has again decided to change it
, temporarily. With the latest [kernel] version of Linux, Tuz the Tasmanian Devil was announced as the mascot for Linux. Though temporarily. Its for a cause. This switcheroo is to support the 'Save the Tasmanian Devil' campaign which aims to protect species from extinction.
Tux has now given way for Tuz. Note, that it is Tuz and not Taz as in the looney toons. Here's an image to help you understand the difference!
For me its sad that Tux won't be around for sometime. Besides, Tuz looks horrible! ech! I do hope things are back to normal soon.
Sigh-ing off,
LVS
PS: Will the 'Save the Tasmanian Devil' campaign use Tux for sometime? Because Linux is pretty endangered too :P

part of the reason tuz looks horrible to u is bcos its a cross between the penguin and the animal.
get used to it.
Linux could be good as an OS but they have terrible logos !! Ugh !!
@rukmani
ya! i hope next time they don't come up with a random new specie.
@kavya
maybe you should let them use your photo and call it 'kuz' :D
I have no idea about any of the above!! This comment is just for the sake of it! Want some more?? :D
@ambikadarolia
yes, pass on the link to your friends :D
Ok.. now you dont need to call me "ambikadarolia" because Blogger does! "ambikadarolia" sounds as if I am some kind of Robot. So plz do not use "ambikadarolia" next time, even though the comment shows "ambikadarolia". Seeing "ambikadarolia" again and again is irritating. So from now onwards, just say Ambika in place of "ambikadarolia"
:P
