If you're running under framebuffer mode, you get a nice penguin on the top left of your screen during the bootup sequence. (after any vendor splash screen put up by the bootloader). It's text output in a graphics mode console. Macs and SUN workstations run inherently in framebuffer mode, there's no text mode available. Maybe someone else can explain this better.
