Apparently there's a Linux version of this one out there as well. I got hit
with it today and I have no idea how to go about recovering my system. Here
it is:

Being a Unix system administrator is like being a tech in a biological warfare
laboratory, except that none of the substances are labeled consistently, any
of the compounds are just as likely to kill you by themselves as they are when
mixed with one another, and it is never clear what distinction is made between
a catastrophic failure in the lab and a successful test in the field.
