Today in Geek History: Tux the Linux penguin was born in 1996. In an email timestamped 5:48pm ET, Linus Torvalds described a "slighly overweight penguin [not fat], sitting down after having gorged itself, and having just burped. It's sitting there with a beatific smile - the world is a good place to be when you have just eaten a few gallons of raw fish and you can feel another 'burp' coming." He was named a month later on June 10 by James Hugh who wrote, "(T)orvalds (U)ni(X) --> TUX!"  (Tux cake: http://j.mp/ZPWae4)
