unlike other operating systems that use symbols that look great. such as Windows that uses windows as its symbol and Apple that picks an apple symbol. Linux instead chose the symbol of a Pinguin with a big belly that sat up and looked relaxed. This is teryata because the creator of Linux is Linus Benedict Torvals never bitten by the animal. When Linus vacationed to the south. There he met a short penguins who bit his finger until he had a fever. This funny incident is the beginning of the selection of penguins as the Linux logo.
then by an artist named Larry Ewing was selected to create a picture of the penguin to be used. this is because the developers feel that Linux already needs a logo (1996), and the name chosen is James Hughes's proposal of "(T) orvalds (U) ni (X) - TUX!" . Complete is a logo from Linux, namely a penguin named Tux.
but also penguins are chosen as symbols because to symbolize linux independence from major OS software vendors, their freedom and toughness. Like penguins that are independent, free and tough in cold climates.
Until now the Linux logo, Tux, is well known to various parts of the world. People are more easily acquainted with any Linux-like product just by looking at the unique and funny logo of the entire Linux community around the world.
