    That's pretty cool, I think it shows Linux is going mainstream quicker than most realize.
    I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

    I'm very anti credit card, but this is cool for people who use credit, and want to help passively fund FOSS.
    New to the internet, technical forums, or the hacker / open source community??

    Interesting, but I don't think the wife would approve of me changing the picture on my VISA. Currently it's a picture of her.

    maybe you could photoshop (I mean gimp ...) the 2 pictures together, so you have a half gf half tux picture.

    How about putting her face into Tux's belly?

    Alternatively you could maybe give her a pet name of 'Penguin' and say it's a tribute to her? I'm sure most girls would love to be compared to a penguin

    You can tell her she's actually wearing tux as a hat

    Not sure, but I'd think that these will bring lots of attention to Linux when used in retail outlets. Lots of cashiers will notice the penguin and then be inclined to ask about Linux. It seems to me like it's probably a good thing, all around.

    Anyone here already have one?
