What bird is the mascot for Linux?

The official name of the Linux mascot is "Tux". The name supposedly was the result of on-line discussions on what to name the Penguin (which had already been established as the default logo for LINUX because Linus Torvalds "like[s] penguins") As far as we know, the post establishing the name came from James Hughes: Re: Let's name the penguin! (was: Re: Linux 2.0 really _is_ released..) . James Hughes (jamesh@interpath.com) Mon, 10 Jun 1996 20:25:52 -0400 . (T)orvolds (U)ni(X) --> TUX! In all likelihood it stuck because it was a clever linking of the elements of LINUX to the appearance of a penguin, e.g. they look a bit like they are wearing a black tuxedo with a white shirt.
