-[no commentary yet] +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
+
