Maddog, <br>
<br>
This is an easy question to answer. The Linux Journal Tux Tile is about<br>
beliefs and rebellion (I stuck it on there in the late 90's or early<br>
00's, when Linux was rebellion). Whether or not it's aesthetically<br>
pleasing is irrelevant to me. <br>
<br>
The exact same thing could be said of the stickers on the bottom of my<br>
skateboards or the Kiss stickers on my guitar case, or the Peace Symbol<br>
I painted on the door of my first car (59 Plymouth bought in 1968).<br>
<br>
For me, when it's not about function, it's about beliefs.<br>
<br>
