"Good"
Revolution OS Review
By Christopher Null
This unique "talking geek" movie outlines the free software and open source movements (and the difference between the two), tracing the rise of GNU, Linux, Netscape, and other groundbreaking computer projects by interviews with their respective visionaries. Big hacker names like Richard Stallman, Eric Raymond, and Linus Torvalds take center stage, but the unending monotone and acronym-speak are downright sleep-provoking, even for an avowed geek like myself. Great story, bad idea for a movie.
