Tux didn't seem to be restrained in any way. We're told that Linux is
a mature operating system, so one would assume Tux is of the age of
consent and understood what was happening. Besides, I'd assume that
Beastie wouldn't do any such thing without first having bought Tux a
nice herring dinner and taken him out to a film.

Absolutely. It needs to be discussed in as much detail as possible,
repeatedly.
