Think of the negative associations. All that waddling means they don't run well -- not a flattering analogy for an OS. Forget all that. Linus Torvalds, who created Linux, likes penguins. It's that simple. He thinks of them as cute, cuddly and happily stuffed with herring. He wants everyone to "let their love floe" and associate Linux with that kind of cute contentment.
