Tux Family Portrait

The Tux family portrait. From left to right: Tux, Tux Crystal (Revision 1), Tux Crystal (Revision 2), Tiny Tux, and Crystalized Tux. They also have an illegitimate cousin in there (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tux#QuickTime_penguin_controversy for more on this).

The famous Tux vs. MSN Butterfly wallpaper, converted into a Kirocker theme. The background image was not made by me but unfortunately there is no way to tell who the original author is. The theme config is based on sunset bliss.
