It's Boxing day and I'm bored, so here's my attempt at an Ubuntu 
flavoured Auld Lang Syne:

Verse 1:
"Should auld programming be forgot
and replaced with something new?
Should auld programming be forgot,
and install ubuntu?"

Chorus:
"Install ubuntu, my dear,
install ubuntu,
we'll tak some open source software,
and install ubuntu"

Verse 2:
"And there's support, my trusty fiere!
At no more cost to you!
We'll give you help both day and night,
when you install ubuntu."

I would go on, but perhaps it's best if I stop there. Try singing that 
at the top of your lungs on New Year's eve!
