Logo comparison table

Logo type	Linux 2.2.x	Linux 2.4.x	Linux 2.4.4-ac4	Old 2001/03/08	New! 2001/05/03	Comments
Generic 224 colors
Generic 16 colors						Since 2.3.something the hack we used to supply our own palette for the 16 color logo no longer works. Now we must use the standard console palette. Hence this logo is broken in Linux 2.4.x.
Generic black & white						Remove the politically-incorrect penguin-with-beer.
Mac 224 colors
MIPS 224 colors
SGI 224 colors						Remove the politically-incorrect penguin-with-beer. Besides, the include file containing this logo is no longer used.
SPARC 224 colors
SPARC black & white						Remove the politically-incorrect penguin-with-wine.
