PATCH 1/1 logo: Change regular 224-color tux logo to something more appropriate for Linux 3.1

For Linux 3.1, I thought we could change the 224-color framebuffer logo to something more apropos given the version number. As the patch is quite large, I'm only inlining the changelog. 8)

See http://djwong.org/docs/31-tuxlogo.patch for too-large-for-lkml patch,
http://djwong.org/docs/31-tuxlogo.png for a PNG logo, or
http://djwong.org/docs/31-tuxlogo-screen.png for a screenshot.

How come the text is corrupting the logo during scrolling?

This really needs to go through linux-fbdev (CCed).

Funny, does it look like Win98's logo?

Yes, entirely too much of an imitation. I will not contaminate my Linux install with it.

Cheers, gene

You're welcome to provide a screenshot on a 32-core or 64-core system. :)

(Now, if you had a nice 24-bit-deep color Tux around the same size as the current one.. ;)

If you're going to make it 24-bit color, *use* it for something :)

Yes, it's maroon and orange. That's because this is the school mascot:
