Perhaps Linux

Foreword: If you have not listened to "Perhaps Love" by John Denver, this will make no sense to you. So please to download from appropriate illegal means that you have. You can always read original lyrics here.

Perhaps Linux is like some software thing, a few lines of code newborn,
It exists to boot-up faster, it exists to keep it on,
And in those times of trouble, when Windows gives up on you,
The songs of the penguin will still ring true.

Perhaps Linux is like a prickly thorn, perhaps a needle hole
It is hard to install it at first, sometimes it stings you sore,
But once you get the hang of it, and figure out the rightest way,
The memory of Windows will almost fade away.

Oh, Linux to some is like the night, to some as bright as day,
For some a way of surfing, for some a way to play,
And some say Linux is GUIs, and some say command line,
And some say Gnome is the best, and some say KDE is fine.

Perhaps linux is like the open sky, full of stars and the moon,
Like the next issue of playboy, an upgrade can't come too soon,
If I should live forever, and all my dreams come true,
I'll name my newest patch after you.

And some say Linux is GUIs, and some say command line,
And some say Gnome is the best, and some say KDE is fine.

Perhaps linux is like the open sky, full of stars and the moon,
Like the next issue of playboy, an upgrade can't come too soon,
If I should live forever, and all my dreams come true,
I'll name my newest patch after you.

(PS: The original intent of preserving original lyrics AFAP, didn't happen completely. An out-n-out funny version is however expected soon, depending on a number of factors inluding Navjyot Singh Sidhu's position in mid-january and the availability of a certain DVD at the local library.)
