☩ Walking in Light with Christ – Faith, Computing, Diary

Some few years I’ve watched the Revolition OS – documentary movie on the birth and development of Free Software Movement (FSF) and the history of GNU/Linux.
The movie was inspirational for me in the past and I should say leveraged myself in my further development in commitment as a supporter and user of the Free Software by watching this one.

Even thogut hthe Revolutionary OS movie is an old and a popular movie, still i’m quite sure the movie is not seen by many people out there who live in the dark slavery of propritery software :).

Thus I write this article to raise my voice again and re-spread the message of the existence of these great Free Software, Open Source and GNU/Linux documentary!

If you’re among the people hackers, geeks, simple Windows user, a philosopher, an IT or just a simple man and you still haven’t watched revolition OS now is the time to fill in this big movie vacancy.

The movie is already 9 years old from the year 2001, but still is very relevant and gives basic knowledge on GNU is not Unix, GNU/Linux, The Free Software movement, The Birth of the Apache project.
The usage of Linux on the Internet webservers etc. ,etc. What makes the movie even more worthy is the numerous talks of Richard Stallman, who as a friend of mine said “Richard Stallman is probably the Greatest philosopher of our times”

Besides that the movie also includes numerous major people who plays key role in Information Technology in the last 20+ years.
It also gives a bit of history about UNIX and the Linux Kernel.

The notable geeks, programmers, hackers and IT experts name that are interviewer are:

Richard Stallman, Michael Tiemann, Linus Torvalds, Larry Augustin, Eric S. Raymond, Bruce Perens, Frank Hecker and Brian Behlendorf

In that thought I should say this movie is an absolutely must see for every computer enthusiast out there! 🙂

The movie shows also shows a quick review of the old times Redhat Company offices and talks a bit about RedHat Linux who was a major Linux distribution in the back days and actually was the first Linux distribution, that gave me a glimpse on what is Linux.

Therefore I think this movie besides the accurate facts presented has a great computer historical value.
The movie is available for watching directly via youtube, however it is not freely available for download, which is a bit strange considering the fact that it promotes free software culture.

Anyways one can always download the whole movie from major torrent trackers.

If you’re lazy to download the movie from some torrent tracker you can watch Revolition OS movie directly below:

Enjoy! 🙂
