"The Walt Disney Company, the doyen of animation studios, is joining Hollywood's embrace of a technological upstart - the GNU Linux operating system.
"Disney's animation division is announcing today that it plans to use Hewlett-Packard workstations and data-serving computers running Linux for digital animation work in the future. "The Disney move is the latest commitment by major studios and special-effects houses - including DreamWorks SKG, Pixar Animation Studios, Industrial Light and Magic and Digital Domain - to Linux, which is a variant of the Unix operating system that is distributed free and under terms that allow programmers to fine-tune the software." http://www.nytimes.com/2002/06/18/technology/18LINU.html?ex=1025417631&ei=1&; en=2536db4ad4dfaf28 Mark Post
