Album Notes

REVOLUTION OS tells the inside story of the hackers and computer programmers who rebelled against Microsoft the proprietary software model to create Linux and the Open Source movement.

For the past two decades, a loosely organized group of computer hackers, neo-communists, and entrepreneurs has lead the charge in a technological revolution that is undermining Microsoft's monopoly and fundamentally changing the way software is developed and owned. The best known results of this revolution are the Linux operating system and the Open Source movement.

The documentary film REVOLUTION OS explores the Open Source movement's origins through original interviews with the its founding fathers, and depicts the grassroots nature of Linux and Open Source as they march into the mainstream.

Filmed in 35mm Cinemascope on location in Silicon Valley, REVOLUTION OS includes interviews with the Finnish creator of the Linux kernel, Linus Torvalds, and other key figures like Richard Stallman, Brian Behlendorf, Bruce Perens, and Eric Raymond.

Shot in cinemascope on 35mm film in Silicon Valley, REVOLUTION OS depicts an unusual group of characters that are three-parts libertarian, two parts communist, and one-part bad garage band. Revolution OS stars Linus Torvalds - the creator of Linux, and Richard Stallman - the ideological godfather of the movement, and features interviews with high-tech luminaries like Bruce Perens, Eric Raymond, Brian Behlendorf, Michael Tiemann, Larry Augustin, Frank Hecker, and Rob Malda.

REVOLUTION OS is a Region-Free DVD to ensure worldwide DVD
player compatibility.

REVIEWS

Great film, great director!
author: Chris
I recently purchased this film with the hopes of showing it to our local Unix User Group. The film was very informational and entertaining, and the group seems to have liked it quite a bit. We emailed the director about permission to show it at our meeting, and then for permission to watch it during an upcoming install fest. J.T.S. Moore was very approachable, and very generously granted us permission for both. Would definitely buy more from this director.

Can't get enough of this
author: stoeptegel
I've watched this movie over and over again and can't get enough of it. :D The movie isn't that high quality, the interview even less... but the information in the movie is great. It tells you the whole story from the ground up where it all began in a "freedom style". I think this is done well by the moviemaker. People using free or open-source software should really watch this dvd! Recommended.
