Lightbulb The Code: Story of Linux (historical documentary)


This is a great documentary about GNU/Linux. It's made in Finland in the year 2001.

It's in English for the most part. Other than that it has parts in Swedish, Finnish and Chinese. I've created both English and Swedish soft subtitles for this myself. Plus I added all the foreign subtitles I could find.

This is the only DVDrip of this to have seen the interwebz. All other copies are (really old) TV-rips. So enjoy, and share it with all your friends

I'd appreciate some views as YouTube have been total dicks and basically seem like they want to destroy the only good copy of this.

Apart from the YouTube video, I also made a torrent which is slightly higher quality since it's the source used for YouTube. YouTube in turn transcoded it during upload, so that's the reason for quality loss. Every time you re-encode something you lose a lot of the information, especially if you convert back-and-forth between different codecs.

I'm probably making a copyright violation in uploading this, but let's be honest. It already existed in countless versions on YouTube and there were already torrents. The author of the documentary doesn't seem to care, so we shouldn't either.

Here is a pastebin-link with links to the torrent (and subtitles):
