Tux was actaully drawn by Larry Ewing. as a competition entry to make a mascot, which linus ands others had already chosen to be a penguin in 1996

Face it, we need a chatroom for pointless discussions like these. Oh, think of all the wasted records in Jeremy's otherwise perfectly orderly MySQL database...

Although it would be great, i fully understand why most are against it, i read the posts about it before

Linus Torvalds is Finnish, but he speaks Swedish.
6% of Finland's population speaks that tongue.
