    TUX
    Tux is the penguin that Linux uses as a logo. In 1993, Linus Torvald went to #Australia and got bitten by a penguin in a #Canberra zoo. In 1996, Alan Cox made a cartoon design of a penguin that Torvalds found online.
    The name #TUX has been coined by James Hughes, and it is the contraction of "Torvald's UniX"... Weird, as you know, #Linux Is Not UniX :D
