"Linux Gazette... making Linux just a little more fun! The Australian History of Tux By Chris Jones Gday from the land of Oz, If anyone out there is wondering about the growing popularity of Linux and its adoption by Australian writers as a writers true operating system, perhaps the following may help explain. On the reason for choosing Tuxthe penguin mascot for LinuxLinus Tolvalds, the first of thousands who wrote the Linux computer operating system on the world wide web, had this to say: When I was in Canberra a few years ago we went to the local zoo ... There they had a ferocious penguin that bit me... OK now, when Linus says he was bitten by an angry penguin in Canberra and that is a good reason for the Tux mascot which today spells Linux, there maybe more to the story. During the 1940s and 50s in Australia there was a literary magazine called, of all things, The Angry Penguins . This magazine was an avant-garde modernist poetry magazine edited by Max Harris and had modernist painters and writers grouped around it whose names are now legend in Australian art. But at that time they were just considered weird and way out. You know, the stereotype of mad deluded poets and artists starving and living in sub-standard housing. Anyway, this literary magazine started to get a bit too much of a following. A couple of boring farts, both academic poets, got a bit hot under the collar about this and got together to write and submit a hoax modernist poem under the false name of Ern Malley. As it worked out, these farts are now better known for this hoax and the false name Ern Malley, then their own true names and works.

home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Australia History Australia's original inhabitants, known as Australian Aborigines, have the longest continuous cultural history in the world, with origins dating back to the last Ice Age. Although mystery and debate shroud many aspects of Australian prehistory, it is generally accepted that the first humans travelled across the sea from Indonesia about 70,000 years ago. The first visitors, called 'Robust' by archaeologists because of their heavy-boned physique, were followed 20,000 years later by the more slender 'Gracile' people, the ancestors of Australian Aborigines. Europeans began to encroach on Australia in the 16th century: Portuguese navigators were followed by Dutch explorers and the enterprising English pirate William Dampier. Captain James Cook sailed the entire length of the eastern coast in 1770, stopping at Botany Bay on the way. After rounding Cape York, he claimed the continent for the British and named it New South Wales. In 1779, Joseph Banks (a naturalist on Cook's voyage) suggested that Britain could solve overcrowding problems in its prisons by transporting convicts to New South Wales. In 1787, the First Fleet set sail for Botany Bay under the command of Captain Arthur Philip, who was to become the colony's first governor. The fleet comprised 11 ships, 750 male and female convicts, four companies of marines and supplies for two years. Philip arrived in Botany Bay on 26 January 1788, but soon moved north to Sydney Cove, where there was better land and water. For the new arrivals, New South Wales was a harsh and horrible place, and the threat of starvation hung over the colony for at least 16 years.

Australia has two distinct periods in her history ~ the time before European settlement in 1788, and the years since then. Our indigenous people, the Aborigines, were hunters and gatherers who roamed this country for 60 000 years before Captain James Cook landed in Botany Bay in 1770 and claimed the land for England. Our first European settlers were convicts transported from England on the "First Fleet" under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip in 1788. Discovery During the 15th century, European explorers began great sea journeys in search of new lands and new riches and there was a race to see who would be the first to discover the mysterious "Great South Land" which many were convinced had to exist so that the planet would stay balanced. There is a lot of evidence to show that the Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch were here long before Captain James Cook claimed the land for England.
