Haha, j/k
The current religious intolerance thread in the applications forum made me think → did we actually make it through a Gregorian calendar “Christmas/New Years” holiday season without a single question arising about the cute little penguins on boot up? lol!
PS - I liked the Penguins … if IIRC, it was even made an openfate request too (to implement a new version)… not sure if that ever went any where
Not quite: openSUSE Leap 42.2 - initial experiences - Open Chat - openSUSE Forums (2nd paragraph) :).
While technically it wasn’t a question, however, that counts — it was an oversight on my part to have not phrased it as “any mention of the penguins” as opposed to have limited it to “questions about the penguins” lol!
I liked them, too.
I recently saw them. I downloaded the geckolinux iso (422.161213 bare-bones edition), and booted it on a legacy boot machine. And I was penguins. I think it is using “syslinux” to boot.
Could somebody make a Plymouth boot splash screen out of the penguins? That would be appreciated by many.
Ahh, neat; they live on.

In Plymouth!!!Then that would virtually guarantee that we’d never see them ever again LOL
Indeed! Considering I no longer have a Plymouth. I like the scrolling text.
Sometimes I like the scrolling text, sometimes I prefer to see a nice bootsplash
Just happened to start the Leap 42.2 install DVD on a legacy machine today and the penguins were up and walking…
Maybe EFI doesn’t love penguins like it doesn’t love most of us poor users apparently?

According to https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/493796-Christmas-penguins-in-GRUB2-wanted! there was an openFATE
request for it.: https://features.opensuse.org/316767 . I suspect it got nowhere.
I have been seen them twice this year end (2016/2017) on two different PC’s (42.2).
I wonder (not sure(seen from my peripheral vision)) when I was in my my workshop and zypper dup my old 32-bit PC from 2002 and tumbleweed show the penguins but with an slightly different design at the reboot.
They are still there, but how often do you reboot a PC now on days 
?

Cute? Like the poor polar bear at the mall? What is with these people?
