    Two tankards filled with a yellow brew,
    Parched but my thirst was not limitless.

    And that was frosty pissness.

    Ahhh, one of my favourite quotes from this guy:

    Of course we had free software back in the '60s. But back then we called it "software".

    Whatever you do, don't mess with this guy and his beard of respectable size.

    If you ever feel overly nerdy when using Linux, just give the men behind the OS a thought and you'll feel much better!
