Aye, Tux was made by Larry Ewing in GIMP, but from what I've read the concept of having a penguin as the Linux mascot was introduced by Linus. Although the name 'tux' was thought of by James Hughes. (Tux meaning "(T)orvalds (U)ni(X)")
All of this is based off of stuff from Wikipedia. If you really want to know more about it why not look there? I do so think that it's better than hearsay. (If Wikipedia isn't hearsay itself.) Also, another indispensable source for Linux related information is 'Just for Fun' by Linus himself.
Good Luck!
