How about the platypus? I know that Slackware
used to use it before, but I don't know if it was trademarked? I
remember buying a Walnut
Creek slack distro back in '97 that featured the
platypus logo. Looked pretty cool, too. Platypi
are utterly unique, and I don't recall ever seeing an O'Reilly book
with one on the cover!

Hey, someone caught on to my thinking... ;-) Not that I have anything
against otters.
If you want more animals that never made it onto an O'Reilly book, how
about a chinchilla? Warm and furry, like the otter. Some
intersection
here with the Chinchilla project, though...
