short description:
---------
REVOLUTION OS tells the inside story of the hackers who rebelled against the
proprietary software model and Microsoft to create GNU/Linux and the Open Source
movement.

On June 1, 2001, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said "Linux is a cancer that
attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches."

Microsoft fears GNU/Linux, and rightly so. GNU/Linux and the Open Source & Free
Software movements arguably represent the greatest threat to Microsoft's way of
life. Shot in cinemascope on 35mm film in Silicon Valley, REVOLUTION OS tracks
down the key movers and shakers behind Linux, and finds out how and why Linux
became such a potent threat.

REVOLUTION OS features interviews with Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, Bruce
Perens, Eric Raymond, Brian Behlendorf, Michael Tiemann, Larry Augustin, Frank
Hecker, and Rob Malda.
