I've got some better ones. Stolen, of course. :)

Linus noster, qui es in Finlandia
assembletur nomen tuum.
Adveniat systemum operationis tuum.
Exectutiatur nucleus tuus
sicut in computatoribus maximis et in minimis
Promptum nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis fenestra nostra sicut
et nos dimittimus peccatoribus fenestriensis
Et ne nos inducas in KDE[0],
sed libera nos a comercio.
shutdown -h now.

I'm not that strong in Latin - never had it - so don't blame me :)

[0] a little out of date - as Qt is free now ... but WTH

THE SYSOP'S PRAYER

Our UNIX, which resideth in the root filesystem
Hallowed by thy kernel
Thy patch come
Thy make be done
In /home as it is in /usr/local
Give us this day our daily C
And forgive us our segmentation faults
As we forgive those who do a kill -9
And lead us not to Win95
But deliver us from core dumps
For thine are the inodes, the devices
and the PIDs, for (;;),

login.
