! Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World, ! you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer ! who can't bear the thought of software that will only run under ! Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run ! under particular Linux distributions. !

! This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with ! Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix. !

! Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable ! software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms. ! Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the ! standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad. !

! We also are faced with groups writing software that only works ! with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that ! not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our ! idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution ! of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left ! with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on ! herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a ! way to discourage porting it to other platforms.


! Linux, the one and only true Unix
! We are in every way Posix
! We voice our yearning "Someday soon"
! We won't need any other.

+ Then, tomorrow brings a new distro
+ It's better than the last you know
+ Another million bits that changed
+ All the hacks and tweaks we conjure up
+ Just get pushed into Posix
+ There's one thing I'm certain of
+ The world will love it, all Linux
+
+ Then, there's other stuff we push as well
+ Others can work around this hell
+ With just a million lines of Shell
+ Now, as standards ape the one Linux
+ Everyone else just gets stuffed
+ There's one thing that I'm certain of
+ The world will love it, all Linux
+ We are Posix
+ World, you'll love my Linux
+ Linux, Linux
+
