Lyrics to OpenBSD 3.7 Song Released

Posted by timothy on from the openbsd-will-outlive-dick-clark dept.

Eh-Wire writes "Theo has announced the release of the lyrics to the OpenBSD 3.7 song "The Wizard of OS". Theo writes in the announcement, "Please be sure read the commentary I have written next to the lyrics of the song. The artwork and lyrics for each of our releases relate to something big we have been dealing with over the last 6 months of the release -- our fight to get programming documentation and redistributable firmwares.""

    If they spent half as much time making OpenBSD user-friendly as they spent writing stupid geek songs no one cares about, they might actually produce something usable by ordinary people.

      You obviously lack the intellectual fortitude to figure it out...

    I side with 3.1 my self. Let's see what they've done so far:
    3.0 was obviously a kinda techno-trance deal - Puff Daddy 3.1 was a more solid rock song, mid 90s style, almost Rammsteiny - Puffy the Kittenslayer 3.2 was the Bond ballad, not my cup of tea - James Pond 3.3 was more 80s rock, cool though - Puff the Barbarian 3.4 was strange, I'd almost call it folk and medieval combined - Puffy Hood 3.5 was a comedic parody of Monty Python - no real theme for Puff 3.6 was a Johnny Cash styled country - a Clint Eastwoody "Pond-erosa" Puff 3.7 was a 70s, Pink Floydesque rock song - Puffathy I still hope for a release with an Open C Compiler, just so they can have a Kid Rock styled theme song and a Puff with a handlebar mustache riding a chopper, and maybe a release based on the Marx Brothers, a Puff for each Marx would be nice. What are the other OpenBSD fans out there hoping for some day?

    We hope you get a life. Seriously.

  3. FUD by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    This is FUD -- Linux certainly routes faster than 100kpps. And http://wideopenbsd.org/ clearly shows how OpenBSD is fundamentally flawed and should not be used by anyone except for OS dilitante dabblers.

    STOP SPREADING FUD!
