They had a couple of penguins at the linuxuser expo, but the costume hire
must have been two quid at most - these things looked like they needed the
WWF (or shooting). Dirty, matted fur - poor things.

As an aside, your Ghandi quote reminds me - redhat have a video where
they use this quote near the end (along with various others relating
to famous inventions derided at their inception). Does anyone know
where I can get this from? I searched a while back but got nowhere.

Thanks,
