Official Website of www.revolution-os.com IMDB: www.imdb.com Wikiepdia: Der Film führt einen nahtlosen geschichtlichen Bogen über die Evolution von GNU/Linux, von den Anfängen — als Software auf Papierbändern zum Preis eines Biers kopiert wurde und Bill Gates in den 70ern anfing, proprietäre Programme in BASIC für von Computerhobbyisten verwendete Kleinstcomputer zu schreiben und diese in einem bitterlichen Brief aufforderte, Software zu kaufen statt zu tauschen — bis zu Richard Stallman und einer Beschreibung dessen, was ihn motivierte, seine Stelle am MIT aufzugeben und sein Leben fortan der Entwicklung Freier Software zu widmen. Michael Tiemann erklärt in der Wüste, wie er von Stallman eine sehr frühe Version von dessen GNU C-Compiler bekam, und ihn weiterentwickelte. Larry Augustin beschreibt am Originalschauplatz, einem amerikanischen Universitätscampus, wie er sich mit dem von Stallman gegründeten GNU-Projekt und einem normalen Personal Computer eine leistungsfähige UNIX-Workstation bauen konnte, die ihn ein Drittel des Preises einer Workstation von Sun Microsystems kostete, aber das Doppelte leistete, und wie daraus die Firma VA Linux wurde, deren Börsengang im Film ebenfalls lebhaft mitverfolgt wird.
I’m always surprised as to how few linux geeks are part of the Zeitgeist Movement. I’ve always seen a Functioning a Resource Based economy as the pinnacle of an open and free society.
At 54:54 Peace, Love, and Software!
Before I didn’t understand why some people disliked Microsoft. This video was a real eye opener to a kinda new Linux user.
most epic start to a speech ever 48:05
This is a great documentary. I have watched it probably 20 times. I’m a big Stallman fan and think he is a remarkable individual.
@TabooTongue Why are you offended exactly? (Genuine question)
If Microsoft would let users see what they were doing they may help to fix the crapy setup they have been dishing out for years. Linux has had floes but the users were able to help fined the problems and fix them as well as help to inprouve for futture programs. These changes are what makes Linux grate. I am working on my own linux based gaming system that lets a user tern a home laptop or pc into a gaming system. This system will support Playstation, Wii, & X Box controllers as well as games.
@popejimbo1 I think they’re talking about those things that break!!!-_- Broken Windows… Sucks
A little offended and taken back by 1:04:15 & 1:05:12.
…It won’t stop me from making my slow switch to Linux though.
The rest of this is GREAT though =D
the same software. and most people are used to windows so the common everyman would stick with it. Mac os would drop like a rock because gnu/linux>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> mac. I love gnu/linux, but sadly I dont see it getting popular enough anytime soon
With google putting in 1g fiber in kc I hope some of the computing sector moves to the midwest.
also linux will NEVER be the ‘main’ os. There are too many distros, and the ‘community’ as a whole will never get behind one distro the way they would need to for gnu/linux to get to have a substantial market share. even if all software suddenly went gpl windows would still be the main because 1: most software already works on windows and it still would so corps would stick with it so they can use
@Sugardude Fair enough mate.
@popejimbo1 It was a joke.
I like turning common metaphors around. Like a desktop is a place you can put your stuff while you’re working and where you keep important stuff, like your computer desktop.
@Sugardude I’m not entirely sure if that was some sort of sarcasm, or if you genuinely thought I was asking for an explanation of what a window is. Lol.Which was it?
@popejimbo1 It’s a hole in a wall that you can use to see what’s happening on the other side and let air and light through. Similar to windows on you computer which you can imagine as a “holes in the interface that you see programs through”, if that can help you understand the concept that they call “windows” in architecture.
I see now that my time indication was not mapped to the video, so you can’t jump right to it. I bet that if YouTube had been designed by Linux Torvalds, this wouldn’t be a problem. Well, FWIW, just add #t anchor to the URL, followed by = and then number of minutes m and number of seconds s, and hit ENTER. That should do the trick. (Also… the video was very good. I just DLd it from TPB and watched it. I sincerely hope it is copyleft.)
Take a look at the sequence from 0:28:48 to 0:28:56. Who is that mysterious man?! Oh no, is that?!… Yes! It’s him! It’s Flash! “My name is Wally West. I’m the fastest man alive. I’m the Flash.” He appears several times throughout the video if you look closely. You get a glimpse of what it’s like to be in his boots, from his own point of view, like at 0:28:28. Get a laugh!
@lucianomarconIT True, that shows a lot about our society
As some others recently died prominent figures of research and computers (first in born date order) John McCarthy and Dennie Ritchie who worked themselves with DEC-machines creating one or the most both popular language AI language and Operating system (i.e Unix) respectively, on which something both played in Stallman’s later work. However this didn’t count as an evil character played when Pdp made up a rather bad reputation from its DEC extinction (1983) and many of its works somehow got lost.
In fact both Richard Stallman and Bill Gates share a common history they had developed products of the DEC PDP-10 machine, when some years later DEC ceased to develop its Jupiter project to develop a desktop version of the Mainframe, so many programs were considered “obsoleted”, i.e ITS. Other companies developed in-house versions of it as consequence of DEC’s demise, one one of the earliest computing users networks, Compuserve, until 2009 bought-up and Cisco’s co-founder XKL run it.
@juanda3310 I live in hope. The system will collapse eventually no matter what happens, but it wouldn’t hurt to give it a little push and speed things up a bit. Anyone else in favour of a run on the banks?
Soon, the monetary sistem will be fall and Gates and all those big companies will be as common as others…. just wait a while…
I’m your worst nightmare
I like this~
i find stallman a little slow…LOL
@assfau1t all what you mentioned is already available. nvidia offers binary drivers for linux which are for the end-user the same thing as the ones on windows.
