Shall I compare thee to a crashing GUI?
Thy kernel art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough use doth shake the darling buds of Redmont
And Windows NT hath all too short an uptime
Sometime too oft the light on the hub doth glow
And often then is Linux's monitor dimm'd
And every hacker from work sometime declines
By chance, or flamewars unchanging course untrimm'd
But thy eternal stability shall not fade
Nor lose posession of that power thou owest
Nor shall MS brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal branches to perfection thou growest
  So long as men can think or hands can type
  So long lives FreeBSD, and this gives life to thee.

Sue me, I was bored, and I knew the original by heart  ;)
