Hi,
We're your linux nerds (Uh-huh) 
And have we got news for you!
(You'd better listen) 
Get ready, all you kernel fans
and leave those compilers at home, (alright)
Version number's rising (hmm, rising)
The bugcount's getting low (How low, now?)
According to all sources, (what sources now)
The net's the place to go (we'd better hurry up)
Cause tonight, for the first time (first time)
Just about half-past six (half-past six)
For the first time in history
They're gonna launch 2.6. (2.6!?)
It's 2.6, Hallelujah! - 
It's 2.6, Amen!
I'm gonna stay in and gonna wget 2.6.tar.gz
It's 2.6, Hallelujah!
It's 2.6, every patch and fix!
Fast, light, new and clean
Stable, tough, secure, and free.

God bless Linus Torvalds, he's a nerdy hacker too
He started coding, and he did what he had to do
He taught every hacker to recompile the code
So that each and every admin could run the perfect node.
It's 2.6, Hallelujah! 
It's 2.6, Amen!
It's 2.6, Hallelujah!
It's 2.6, Amennnn!
I feel kernel updates moving in 
'Bout to release it, about to begin
Read the changelog,
Then just recompile,
After you've changed the config file.
