Re: [News] The Year of Linux was Last Year, at Least for Hollywood and Many Others

After takin' a swig o' grog, Roy Schestowitz belched out this bit o' wisdom:

   "With the big dogs, there's nobody left to convert to Linux. Every
   studio is already on board."

   Although there are some situations for which Linux is ill-equipped --
   video playback software tends to be inadequate, for example -- open
   source tools and applications are generally embraced, he noted.
   "Overall, the film industry is very happy with Linux today,
   especially compared to where it was eight years ago when they began
   adopting it as their primary OS," Rowe said.
