<matthias> Would someone please create a page for Tux?

Sure, matthias.

Tux is the official mascot of Linux. It was created by Larry Ewing in The GIMP, because LinusTorvalds likes penguins. (After discussions on the linux-kernel mailing list, and an initial suggestion by AlanCox.)

Google has a lot of information about Tux.

There is also a cool game called Tux Racer, where you guide a penguin down a hill. It used to be totally free, but they sell it for profit now I believe.
