No, the Linux mascot is not the subject of an animated series (not yet at least). But major moviemakers such as George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic special effects studio are embracing the open-source operating system. Even Pixar Animation Studios, creator of the Toy Story movies, is considering Linux (though its CEO is Steve "Apple Computer" Jobs). Sound funny? A cluster of Linux servers produced the three-dimensional special effects in Titanic. Just this week, IBM got into the act and released its Linux Digital Studio package, which features workstations, servers and storage devices.
