Ghetto tux?

That a Tux with dreads and plays heavy metal?

[Tobias Pistohl]

I didn't even know that penguins grew hair, anyway. Or are these afro-feathers?

[panickedthumb]

I've never heard anyone describe anyone playing heavy metal or anyone with dreads as "ghetto"

From Urban Dictionary: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ghetto&r=f

It's also used to describe the styles of people living in the seedy parts of town, or people that connect with the attitudes of those people.

[nickless]

haha I got it :D
I'll try to make the ubuntu logo look like a gold-chain, that'll be at least a bit more ghetto-style
Also I need to find a way to make the afro more curly or something

I was under the impression the word Ghetto originated in the World War 2 era.
A Ghetto was the fenced in towns the Jewish folk were forced to live in and do work in before they were loaded on to the trains and shipped off to internment camps or slain.

And as for the avatar: How about putting a Badger in there instead of Tux? ;)
You could put a gold/silver chain through the Ubuntu logo and make it his "Bling" lol.

That's Boondock Saints! :-P They're pointing their guns at a mafia leader and saying their family prayer before giving him a "Double tap the back of the head" thusly removing his eyes ^.^; They put coins over them later just to be nice ;)

Lesse.. avatar? Well, I.. uhh.. play bass. ;)

Once I get some time (a few weeks from now), I'm going to finish getting Ardour (http://www.ardour.org/) set up with my new, sly M-Audio soundcard and get down to some recording. Maybe I'll compose an Ubuntu-inspired solo bass piece.
