i've seen gifs of a penguin looking at 2 computers (1 person uses it as their avatar)
i've seen a gif where a penguin is tearing pieces of a computer
i've seen one where a penguin beating on a computer

where would i find those pictures?

do a goggle of images using the word linux or tux and see what comes up.

i tried that before and all i ever got was still shots that sucked

but mostly it was things like tux this tux that (website names), tux racer, and so on

*edit*
in my searches i found this page explaining gif and jpg difference:

Google searches still take a bit of work, chooco. Patience and persistence. Instant everything does not apply to research, which is what this is. The use the term "drill down" to mean start a big, wide search, then narro wit. As an example, try a search on tux images. THEN try a search on text for tux and .gif (only gifs will be animated images, aside from movies like jpegs). Slowly but surely refine your searches until you find what you ant.

You may laugh at me, but I think being able to do really good searches is a skill that will hold you in good stead for life. You can help some many people and help yourself so much when you knwo how to get information.

Like I said, patience and persistence.

End lecture.
