=================Original message text===============
Revolution OS is a very well made film that provides an historical
perspective on the development of GNU/Linux and the culture and community
that produced it. It is a joy to see and listen to active citizens of our
endangered democracy. 

It New York, it might only play till this Thursday.
Revolution OS opens February 22, 2002 at Cinema Village 22 E. 12th St
Here is their press release:

----------------------------------
Revolution OS opens at NYC's Cinema Village February 22, 2002

What is the one thing that Microsoft's monopoly will
never give you? True freedom.   That's why a pioneering band of quirky
software rebels has been fighting to create an alternative computing
universe that no one controls and everyone is free to use.  Taking the
viewer inside this twenty-year struggle, J.T.S. Moore's new documentary
film REVOLUTON OS, tells the personal stories of the hackers and
programmers who rebelled against Microsoft by creating the Linux
operating system and the Open Source movement.

Microsoft fears this freedom.  In June of 2001, Microsoft CEO Steve
Balmer went so far as to say, "Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in
an intellectual property sense to everything it touches."  Linux and the
Open Source movement currently represent the greatest threat to
Microsoft's way of life.  Beyond Microsoft, Wall Street and the rest of
the computer industry has taken notice.  Even IBM has tried to get in
front of this revolution, and is spending over a billion dollars a year
on its Linux efforts.

REVOLUTION OS is available on 35mm and runs 85 minutes.  For more
information go to the website www.revolution-os.com.

Revolution OS opens February 22, 2002 at Cinema Village 22 E. 12th St.
