Back when I was running Debian `unstable` (Sid?), I was always slightly nervous that an update could make the system unbootable, or otherwise ruin my day, when I had other things to do.

So I wrote a lighthearted theme song for `unstable` updates. I don't recall most of it offhand, but it was to the tune of "Cat's in the Cradle":

    o/~ What I'd really like now
        is to update your libc.
        See you later,
        can you apt-get please?
At some point, Linux software stopped improving so quickly, and Debian Stable seemed better. And I've been very happy with it, for most all startup and personal purposes.

It's even named after the movie's villain.
