Does anyone know where I can get a large poster of Tux? I don't want anything fancy, just Tux on a white background, maybe around 3 feet wide, 4 feet high.

Hehe! ^_^ I also think that'd be kinda cool.

You could probably make your own, though.. with the help of tile printing (http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/). You'd need a nice, HQ pic of Tux if you want it to work properly, however.. and you'll have to use the web wizard since the regular app is Windows only (yargh). There's probably some tile printing apps for Linux, though.

I've used that one a couple times and it works quite well if your image is HQ enough.

The biggest problem with printing it myself is my printer. It's great for text, ok for graphs and that stuff, but graphics suck. There's no problem getting a high quality image, just use the Tux SVG image from Wikipedia. You can make that as big as you want to, and it'll look good.

Perhaps ask someone else to barter for it? I have a Canon iP5000 which does great photo pictures.

AsI said, the size/rsolution doesn't matter, if you've ever worked with a well-made svg image (like Tux), you'll know what I mean. I just need a place to print it for me, hopefully for a low price.
