Linux Monument Unveiled in Russia

An anonymous reader writes "The Tyumen Linux user community has unveiled a Linux monument featuring Tux. The project is sponsored by Sergey V Mikhailov, CEO of the Tyunet hosting provider. In this monument, Tux is depicted with eagle wings that symbolize Linux's strength and unlimited possibilities."

too small

well hardly a monument. It seems to be like 10cm tall or something. More of a figurine. Nice design though...

Unlimited possibilities for evil

I'm sure they're grateful to Linus, for giving them such a useful platform to use in the typical Russian banditry, thuggery and racketeering.

Definitely not a monument

A monument you don't hold. A monument is big and heavy and can't be easily moved.

The Raptor Tux

Up in the air, it's an eagle, a vulture, no, it's Tux. C'mon, really?

A miniature

[Predatory QQmber]

Of course it's not a monument. It's a goddamn miniature of the monument. Author is taking donations for building and installing one.
