Linux, #1 Operating System in Hollywood

Linux is the most popular operating system for big budget feature film animation and visual effects. Linux is used to create practically every blockbuster movie in theaters today. Unlike Windows or Macintosh, no company owns Linux. Developers at many companies contribute code to Linux which is available for free and runs on all types of computer hardware. Linux has higher performance, lower costs, and scales well. LinuxMovies.org is a group of over 300 technologists advancing Linux motion picture technology.
