Purely so that the browser doesn't default to its own favicon. Notice its the Tux, Linux's mascot and not one connected to LinuxUK.

I can see where mascots help, I'm not questioning that, my question was more along the lines of does Maemo need a mascot?

If we get to dress up our geekettes/better halves (as BSD folks do, see Devilette), the answer is yes. Must admit, the Opabinia is a much harder sell than the raccoon in that regard ;)

*hug* That's so nice^^

If you want any changes to Mr Woodpecker, let me know ;)

And thanks for the Link too ;) I love etymology and the like :D

I like the Opabinia too! Who would have thought that such a creepy looking creature could look nice ;) I guess it goes to show, you can't judge a book by it's cover! You have no idea how much I enjoyed creating that one^^

I was once chased by a cow in a forest... It was not a happy cow... And he did not like us being in his Forest... With only trees to hide behind it took as a long time to get back to the car... We never returned to those woods again! But I did get a photo of the cow as I accidently pushed the shutter while legging it! Boy can cows run!!

Anyway... Ever since then I have not been well disposed to Bovine...

But this little Moo is different ;) I could grow to like him, maybe... :p

its a little too round, and his snout should be smaller, i think

SLG, that's great, I'd be happy with that.

If you want feedback though maybe the horns could be a bit more cow-like by curving them a bit or by making them less sharp?
