Ubuntu Linux - Frequently Asked Questions

ARE THERE ANY MOVIES/DOCUMENTARIES OUT THERE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF LINUX?

Yes, and they're pretty darn good! One of them is called "Revolution OS" and you can watch it at that link. I highly recommend it.

Another movie is "The Code". A few short portions of this video are not in english and there aren't any english subtitles, but it's only a small portion. It is still a good video. Both movies are an hour to an hour and twenty minutes long.
