Yep, anyone say it had to be a real one ? A soft toy is very cuddly.

No, it'll peck you, as it did Linus (assuming we're talking of real ones again).

Gills ? Are we both talking about the same animals ? To me penguins are flightless birds that can swim rather well, they have lungs, and breath air. No gills, none, never, not even on satuarday nights after a heavy drinking session. They do eat fish, and fish do have gills, but not penguins.

Nope, it's supposed to be an icon, a figure head, a symbol that we can use to identify Linux to the masses.
