Wow.... that's really wide of the mark.

I had never heard of Revolution OS - gonna get a copy ASAP! but what you linked to are just screencasts of people using their desktops. Hardly popcorn friendly...

I'm not sure if the Op is interested, and though it's not on Linux but "24 Hours on Craigslist" is a very interesting and funny documentary as is "info wars" - which focuses on internet activist groups manipulating the internet and the media for their own ends.

'Pirates of Silicon Valley' is a "made-for-television docudrama written and directed by Martyn Burke which documents the rise of the home computer (personal computer) through the rivalry between Apple Computer and Microsoft."

ok thanks guys, yeah i found revolution os on youtube and downloaded it,and burned it as a dvd move,its pretty interesting.

Yeah watching people use their desktops is not really what i inteded,i was looking for more movies like revolution os,something educational.

If you find out anymore please let me know.
P.s- if you know anybody who has trouble installing atheros on ubuntu,you can point them to my you tube videos at http://www.youtube.com/donsmouse

Oh there is a documentary called 'the Code' which is about Linux etc

It was made for Finnish TV but pretty much all of it is in English.

"The Code is a Finnish made documentary about Linux from 2001 featuring some of the most influential people of the free software movement."

I would love a documentary/film to be made about Ubuntu in particular. What with the forthcoming films about Mac users and Wikipedia, it'd be a great topic. Ubuntu has a such a strong, vocal community and is really out to change to the world.

Do you have a video on how to set-up a little window navigator at the bottom of the screen, rather than a panel?
