Indeed GnuTux legacy lives on.
God bless you Scott wherever you are.

Excellent animation Wallace. Did you create it all in Gimp?

Great job Wallace :bigthup

A case of standing on the shoulders of the GnuTux giant if ever there was!

Forum feelings for GnuTux are well stated above; obviously long term members have a better understanding of just what he had achieved in those early days.

Neat animation too Wallace.

Thank you for offering comments in calibration of the legacy and inspiration that is GnuTux.

I echo your sentiment Rod about GnuTux and his legacy!

I finalized the gif image within GIMP and perhaps could have used less colors.

In total I used:
Gimp
Inkscape
Blender
and other 3D rendering applications.
Along with a basic video editor.
