RevolutionOS: The Linux Movie?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-woulda-co-starred-with-angelina-jolie dept.

xmutex writes "Wired has a story about a documentary concerning the history of Linux and the open-source movement." I've heard bits and pieces from people at LWCE about the movie, but won't know for myself until I get a chance to see it. I guess its airing tonight in NY, and if you're at the show, you can get tickets from the OSDN booth.

    we can have Sammy L. Jackson play Steve Jobs

    [Fade in on Gates and Jobs sitting in a car on a city street]

    Jobs: I heard you were in Europe recently?
    Gates: Yeah. It's like America, but there's a lot of little differences though.
    Jobs: Like what?
    Gates: For example, you know what they call a mouse in France?
    Jobs: You mean they don't call it a mouse?
    Gates: Naw, the language difference. They call it 'le souris.'
    Jobs: That's pretty fscked up. Now let's kill some people.

    Hmm, cool. Who's going to be Linus? Tom Hanks? :-)

    Yeah, Tom Hanks plays Linus, who got stranded on a desert island with his 386 and a solar-power generator, but no commercial operating system for his computer. So he has to write his own, from scratch. All while a volleyball named RMS keeps him company.
