“Linux is not only the ideal operating system for small
screen devices like netbooks, but also a pretty good choice for the
big screen. Several of the top blockbusters of all time were
created with the help of Linux software or render farms running
Linux.

“The most recent example being the soon-to-be most successful
movie Avatar. The New Zealand-based visual effects company Weta
Digital sits behind the stunning visual effects of Avatar as well
as some other movies you may have heard of, including the The Lord
of the Rings, The Day The Earth Stood Still, X-Men, I, Robot, and
the 2005 King Kong remake.”
