- leszek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27those images are not free (see: http://tux.crystalxp.net/index.php?view=terms ).
I have nothing against non free images in general but it is the complete opposite of the TUX symbol. - bonked, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Click the British Flag... then... it's English
But as leszek points out Tux Factory needs to learn the concept of Copyleft if they wish to remain in the good graces of the community - I for one have a nasty taste in my mouth for their choice in licenses for something that is a (to use their wording) "byproduct" of a GPL'd image and they give no credit to Larry Ewing the creator of the Tux mascot for Linux. http://www.sjbaker.org/tux/ - dtfinch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10This one caught my attention: http://tux.crystalxp.net/index.php?pngid=1222
Must be the unholy offspring of this: http://slaout.linux62.org/tux/freebsd_tux.jpg - bonked, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Way to miss the point - Free doesn't always mean "Available at no cost" - Free as in Freedom is another meaning, one especially important to most people with a fondness for that which "Tux" represents.
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Umm, no kidding. But the OP meant they're free as in beer, just not as in speech.
- benplaut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7guess what -- you can do it on linux, too (gnome, probably kde)!
d'oh - dignation, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Dude, Tux Rapper! http://tux.crystalxp.net/index.php?pngid=1600
For some reason the word "Linux" and "Rapper" don't seem to go together - nixdoctor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Tux is growing...
and growth brings change...
and change is good. - Saoshyant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I've been wondering about that. When did the original chubby Tux get "replaced" by this wide eyed version I see everywhere now? I even tried to check the Tux article at Wp to find out anything, but there's no information on this.
Maybe someone (nixdoctor?) can clear it out for me.
Edit: A quick google query provided me with this, http://www.sjbaker.org/tux/ which doesn't answer my question but it's insane and worth sharing. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3And created with GIMP, I just might add...
- nixdoctor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's a matter of choice.
- Logan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I like the fact that they have a Union Flag for the English symbol, but the URL says lang=us.

http://tux.crystalxp.net/index.php?pngid=576 - tech42er, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1My avatar is just the standard Tux with a logo. The Firefux is cute though. Too bad they don't have a mashup of the Debian and Firefox (or Mozilla) logos, right? ; )
- r22yu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2You don't even need to take a screen shot. Just click on the avatar you like... and when the next page loads with a bigger version of it, just right click and save picture as...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They should. Check out Dyne:Bolic, live CD with a host of multimedia goodies, including music tools. Has a whole culture of creative commons artists around it.
- macewan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@gvibe06m, because it's unethical to steal. Not to mention the horrible Karma coming your way.
- b.m.a.n, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1dosent matter, thats friggin amazing! NICE
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2After looking through all of them, there is a ***** of them. over 800, the last number I saw in the URL, was 824. Wow.
- mariusaz, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Why is everyone trying to make everything on the web, (now including Linux), look like Mac OS?
- trogdoor, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4Click 'page suivante' to go to the next page.
