Last year I was setting up a SuSE Linux machine. After the initial boot, 
the penguin came out on the upper left hand corner, while the kernel 
messages were scrolling on the screen. Suddenly I noticed water 
creeping out of the ventilation slots, which instantly solidified to 
ice. My entire machine froze, as if someone had put it in a big ice 
cube, but the penguin was still there, looking at me with its eerie 
smile through the thick wall of ice.

Tux's gaze still wakes me up at nights sometimes.
