Trying to explain Linux fandom to outsiders gets a bit . . . difficult.

"Think if it as a religious cult, but without the koolaid," has some truth to

There's a widow in sleepy Chester
  Who weeps for her only son;
There's a grave on the Pabeng River,
  A grave that the Burmans shun,
And there's Subadar Prag Tewarri
  Who tells how the work was done.
