Well... This is Tux on casual days. You can decide whether he's male or female.

Well considering his name is Tux, implying a tuxedo, I think he is man, though it is not clear in the pictures, if you know what I mean. ;)

Tux is above the man and woman concepts. Tux is a allmighty being that overseers the Linux world. Behing each linux zealot there is a little Tux. Behind each Windows BSOD, there is a little Tux.
Tux is part of us. We are Tux. One Tux, One Vision.

Sexing (determining male or female) a penguin is a tough job for most penguin species particularly the little penguin (fairy penguin) that is supposed to have bit Linus Torvalds. Generally male penguins are heavier and in some species have deeper beaks. Like most monmorphic birds, a good way to identify if a penguin is a male or female is to perform a cloacal examination. You have to literally feel up the ... of the penguin to figure out....

like how most creatures do.. hormones.. whatever... We humans don't have to feel up to figure out even if there is a vague dimorphism ...

Re: Linux Logo prototype.

Linus Torvalds (torvalds@cs.helsinki.fi)

[...]

Now, when you think about penguins, first take a deep calming breath, and
then think "cuddly". Take another breath, and think "cute". Go back to
"cuddly" for a while (and go on breathing), then think "contented".
.
With me so far? Good..
.
Now, with penguins, (cuddly such), "contented" means it has either just
gotten laid, or it's stuffed on herring. Take it from me, I'm an expert on
penguins, those are really the only two options.
.
Now, working on that angle, we don't really want to be associated with a
randy penguin (well, we do, but it's not politic, so we won't), so we
should be looking at the "stuffed to its brim with herring" angle here.
.
So when you think "penguin", you should be imagining a slighly overweight
penguin (*), sitting down after having gorged itself, and having just burped.
It's sitting there with a beatific smile - the world is a good place to be
when you have just eaten a few gallons of raw fish and you can feel another
"burp" coming.
.

The "just gotten laid" or "stuffed with herring" points to a masculine perspective. I think Tux is male.

ive read that one of the only ways to tell a penguin's sex is to do an dna test? I guess it would be easier then what you were suggesting =P
