The story goes something like this:
Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux Kernel, was visiting his
friend Andrew Tridgell, the creator of the Samba suite. They were
walking
through the Zoo in Canberra when, without warning, a huge flock of
vampire
attack penguins dove out of the sky and tried to carry Linus away.
Fortunately, Andrew had an umbrella. Still, one of the birds was able to
nip
Linus' hand with its fanged beak. Rumor has it that on moonlit nights
Linus
still runs out into the darkness and jumps, stark naked, into icy water.
Of
course, he's Finnish and may always have done this. In any case, this is
why
the Penguin is the Linux Mascot.
Andrew says that the story has changed a bit since the actual event.
