Special Holiday Episode and a Poem

Guys on FOSS

Hello Readers!
This is a special holiday episode of the podcast. It is a discussion about software distribution and the pros/cons of having an app-store type method of distribution. I have also written a short poem for the holidays, which can be found below.

Twas the night before Christmas, some people say,

When old Steve Jobs took the holidays away.

You opened your gift; A laptop, alright!

But as you read the manual you shuddered in fright.

Although you had payed for the best laptop there is,

You found that your new macbook was actually his.

No freedom here, as in beer or in speech,

Step out of line, and a contract you'll breach.

But then out of nowhere you see a large sleigh,

With a penguin at the reins, here to save Christmas Day.

You say to the penguin, "This macbook, it sucks",

The penguin looks up and replies, "Hi, I'm Tux".
He hopped from his sled, with a "HeHeHe"
and whipped out a Linux live CD.
Your eyes light up, could it be true?
So many choices, like Arch or Gentoo
There's Red hat, and Suse, and quite a few more
Such as CentOS, Mandriva and Tiny Core
With a tip of his Fedora and a quick wave goodbye,
Tux jumped into his sledge and flew into the sky
So try a new distro, there is nothing to fear
And from GuysOnFOSS have a fantastic New Year!
