了解Linux的人肯定对下面这只企鹅不陌生,他是Linux的吉祥物Tux。 为什么要叫他Tux呢? 是不是因为他像穿了一件晚礼服(tuxedo)? 不单单只是这样哟,叫他Tux更多是来源于James Hughes: The first person to call the penguin "Tux" was James Hughes, who said that it stood for "(T)orvalds (U)ni(X)". However, tux is also an abbreviation of tuxedo, the outfit which often springs to mind when one sees a penguin.——From Wikipedia (完美的双关,Tux和tuxedo。) 那又是为什么会选择企鹅来当吉祥物呢? 选择企鹅来作为吉祥物是Linus的决定,因为他在去澳大利亚旅游的时候被澳大利亚国家动物园的企鹅咬了一口,这只企鹅在Linus的心里也是留下了非常深刻的印象啊,于是Linus在决定吉祥物的时候就想起这只小可爱(?)了。 Re: Linux Logo Sun, 12 May 1996 09:39:19 +0300 (EET DST) . Umm.. You don't have any gap to fill in. "Linus likes penguins". That's it. There was even a headline on it in some Linux Journal some time ago (I was bitten by a Killer Penguin in Australia - I'm not kidding). Penguins are fun. (这只苏破天际的企鹅哟,咬人之后都能被心心念念着当成吉祥物。) 于是在1996年的时候,Larry Ewing用Gimp创作了这只可爱的企鹅,Tux。 Tux已经成为Linux和开源社群的象征。英国Linux用户组(British LUG)甚至在当地的动物园认养了几只企鹅。 现在Linux下也有很多以Tux为主角的游戏,例如SuperTux和SuperTuxKart等。 之前看到有人问为什么这只企鹅要抠脚(蹼)呢? 额...可能是因为吃得太饱了不抱着脚丫子就要坐不起来了吧-。-(误,这是维基百科的锅哈哈哈哈)。 Torvalds was looking for something fun and sympathetic to associate with Linux, and a slightly fat penguin sitting down after having had a great meal perfectly fit the bill——From Wikipedia 如果有人对 Linux感兴趣的话,可以尝试下中兴新支点操作系统哦,这是一个基于Linux的国产操作系统,想了解更多的话可以登录中兴新支点的官网:gd-linux.com
