Hi.

Dont mind at all. The reason I ended up thinking less of some people was 
mainly the GNU dude. (sorry I am aweful with names) His campagin to change 
the name of Linux to GNU/Linux seems in my opinion to contradict some of the 
founding philosophies of the open source software movement. Its just my 
opinions and others might disagree entirely, thats all good.

I think it would be a good film to show at an installfest as I said I 
thought the subject matter was aimed towards educating people about linux 
rather than provide a resource for already avid enthusiasts. I can't provide 
any real insight but I think permission could be attained from the owers as 
long as we dont charge for attendance.

The doco its self as a doco is quite good though. The production isn't bad 
and the producers managed to get the nessarcary interviews. Quite good as 
far as Info Tech docos go. ( has anyone seen freedom downtime, The Kevin 
Mitnick doco: the worst documentary film of all time)


Cheers,
Ben.
