Revolution OS - The Documentary about Linux and Open Source
Ricardo Trejo
Ever wondered where Linux came from? What about the words "Homebrew" or "Open Source"? I'm a Windows guy. I always have been, but that's not to say I haven't tinkered around with other operating systems before though, because I've tried, and used, Linux based stuff since near a decade ago. But anyway, let's not stray away from the point. The history behind the movement responsible for alternatives to Microsoft are heavy under cobwebs of bad clothing styles, long beards, and even hippie like idealism.
It's quite a journey, to say the least, which I just finished experiencing in this gem of a documentary called Revolution OS. You can check it out on Netflix streaming (Xbox 360 ftw), or here, on Youtube.
