Revolution OS is a feature-length documentary on the history of free software and Linux. It covers Stallman and the GNU project, Torvalds and the kernel, and Raymond and Perens on open source, starting from the era of freely shared hobbyist code.
Why HN recommends it: Recommended as the standard documentary on the origins of GNU, the FSF and Linux.
“For those that haven't seen Revolution OS I would highly recommend it for much of the Linux backstory.” Read on HN ↗
