A fat, satisfied penguin that has either just got laid, or laid into a 
*large* plate of herring.

If you really haven't met linux, find a cover disk on a computer mag, 
install it on some spare space on your hard drive, and give it a spin.

Just don't expect it to be like Windows (it's MUCH more reliable, for 
example, and far more prone to do what it's told, not what it thinks you 
wanted).
