No, they look like Homer Simpson. Here's a better penguin:
http://www.redhat.com/dtc/penguin.html
It is still cute and content, plus it has (good) personality.
It also looks like a penguin.
I'd get rid of the "2" and "SPARC", but the penguin is right.
If you move the word "Linux" directly under the penguin it
would be perfect. It would look good in 2 colors too.
There's also a link to a jpg of _real_ penguins. You can look
at the jpg to see why the Homer Simpson penguins are not right.
(it has to do with the beak shape, mostly)
