| |
I don't want to sound like a "Suit" or something, but is nobody else disturbed by the fact that the Linux boot logo penguin is holding a glass of beer in it's hand? I'm not trying to censor the logo as such, which I think is nice, but if Linux is aiming for "World Domination", then perhaps a more neutral logo should be chosen as the official logo that is an integral part of the kernel and that everybody sees at bootup? This message is not intended as a moral sermon on the dangers of alcohol (I drink beer myself), but as a reminder that not all cultures look that lightly on alcohol, at least not officially.
I would guess the reaction of these people to the logo is about the same as how the average westener would react to an injection needle in the hand of the penguin...
