    The vocalist outperformed the lyricist on this one by a few orders of magnitude, methinks. The last 'gooooooone' bit was amazing considering that she belted that out without even so much as a chuckle at the lyrics she had to sing.

    I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I thought this was gonna suck, but after downloading it and hearing it, I'm pretty impressed.

      Me too. As an OpenBSD I've been hanging my head in shame at the shear geekiness/hokeyness of a theme song, but this is a pretty impressive. The vocalist is very, very good. Don't get me wrong, I still think the whole idea is silly, but the OpenBSD developers seem to have taken the production quality of their song as seriously as they take the production of their code...

    There may be no Linux song, but there's definitely a Free Software Song, lovingly performed by RMS.

    Developing a BSD-based OS with security in mind = good!
    Sell cds to fund the project = good.
    Release theme song = good?
    Making your users associate your OS with cheesy salsa music = ????

    The current OpenBSD mascot is a blowfish, so there are a lot of fish references.

    The (wicked cool) art for OpenBSD 3.2 has a James Bond theme.

    OpenBSD art has a recurring theme of foiling "script kitties", so that explains all the cat references.
