A nice article at ArsTechnica today.
In the dark, abysmal depths, there dwell timeless alien horrors that once roamed the void of space in the ages before the earliest building blocks of life congealed within the primordial waters of our doomed planet. From far beyond the stars, they came to this world when it was young and forged mighty edifices in the inaccessible places where nothing else could exist, there to rest in dreamful torpor for endless aeons.
Though the presence of these Great Old Ones has long been obscured from humanity, we are surrounded by subtle signs and portents of the secret horrors that will one day awaken and rise from the depths to blot out our feeble existence. An artifact that prophesies their grim return has come into my possession: the dread Cthubuntu Linux distribution — an arcane relic of ineffable power that originated in a dark time beyond reckoning

My favourite line -
- - The incomprehensible apparatus is an otherworldly chimaera forged by alchemical arts unknown to modern science.
Ha Priceless!
