Uh, before everyone goes too far with the penguin idea, I should point out that a penguin is the "advertising mascot" of NuMega Technologies, Inc, which makes protected mode debuggers (Soft-ICE), and code scanners (Bounds-Checker) for Windows, and Windows95. Even if they have no legal control of the image of a penguin, we may wish to distance ourselves, market identification-wise, from any Windows product. They might mistake Linux for a NuMega product.
