Has anyone heard of the linux documentary film "Revolution OS?"  I watched the 8 minute preview at ifilm.com and it was very interesting.  Those of you with mplayer can just enter this on the command line to watch:

mplayer http://www.ifilm.com/ifilm/media/media_wmp_asx/0,4601,2421280_200_2457289_stream_____,00.asx

I want to watch the rest of it, but I don't live near any of the theaters it's being shown at!  Is there a way to order a tape or dvd?

I haven't seen the movie but I believe the subject came up in an earlier thread on these forums. But it might just as well have been on another forum. I recall mixed reviews, more negative, I could be wrong...

Well one night I was watching the Sundance channel and there it was. A very interesting flick indeed. I now know how to pronounce Linux, GNU, Linus Torvalds, and other terms the right way. It showed how redhat became the first big linux company, and told the tale of sco linux, a company I never knew about until I watched the flick.

voidmain:
SCO Linux is an extremely recent thing. Could it have been SCO UNIX that they were referring to or both? I am pretty sure that SCO Linux is nothing more than Caldera. Correct me if I am wrong but in the recent past Caldera bought out SCO and then used SCO as the front name. I used to use SCO UNIX on several machines a few years back. Nasty, nasty, nasty. I hated it.

lol, sorry, I was confused, I meant VA linux, not sco linux. Small mistake.
