Bruce Perens, a former Project Leader of Debian, works for Pixar. He was
responsible for naming the distros after the characters in Toy Story.
I also noticed that Wheezer the Penguin looks like Tux. I'll research if
Tux has any relation to Wheezer...
According to Bruce Perens, there are some Linux boxes lurking around in
Pixar offices.. after all, Linux will run on SGI iron and on PowerMacs
(Steve Jobs is on the board of Pixar..)
