Linux 3.11 named Linux for Workgroups in odd homage to its archenemy Windows

2013-07-16 12:49:44| Extremetech

Ever the prankster, Linus Torvalds has paid homage to Windows 3.11 by naming Linux 3.11 "Linux for Workgroups." Tux, Linux's penguin mascot that appears during boot-up, is now holding a Windows flag (pictured above). This might seem a little odd, given Linux's reputation as the Windows antithesis, but Linux for Workgroups is actually one of Linux's saner names. Over the years, the Linux kernel has been lumbered with some amazingly undignified designations, such as Unicycling Gorilla, Erotic Pickled Herring, and Holy Dancing Manatees, Batman!
