Well, if you're interested in that you should read:

(Chords added by me, to the tune of 'Puff, the Magic Dragon').

C             Em      F                    C
Tux the Linux Penguin lived in a Red Hat box
F                C     Am      D7             G7 
and debugged the kernel with a guy named Alan Cox
C            Em       F                 C 
Little Linus Torvalds loved that rascal Tux
F                         C        Am        D7       G       C 
and wrote him strings and bits and bytes and took out all the cruft 

Oh, Tux the Linux Penguin lived in a Red Hat box 
and wished upon those closed-source guys a great big nasty pox 
Together they would travel to a place known as Slash Dot 
Old Bill kept a log-book of all the flames that MS got 
All the Gates and Windows would close whene'er they came 
Stevie B. would have bad dreams and call out Tuxs' name 

Oh, Tux the Linux Penguin lived in a Red Hat box 
and sorted the linked lists with a guy named Alan Cox 
A Penguin lives forever, but not so old man Bill 
E.S.R. and R.M.S., they shot his life to hell 
One day it happened, Bill could no longer hack 
and Tux the Linux Penguin let out a mighty quack 
His belly filled with herring, free software fell like rain, 
Every man and woman could change the stuff in main() 
Without his life-long rival, Tux began a GNU 
So Tux that Linux Penguin finally flapped his wings and FLEW
