  Being a True Blue Aussie, I'm rather fond of the platypus. However, seeing as
  the Linux logo should have a Finnish flavour, this seems inappropriate.
  Of course, an alternative is to have an International flavour logo.
  How about a set of laurels ("Linux: peace in our time")? Hm. Probably too
  obtuse.
