I would say GNU is the real revolution.  It started in 1985 and without it
Open Source wouldnt exist as we know it today and neither would Linux.
Before GNU things were more 'shared source' then in early eighties the
prop software model w/o any source started and thats when GNU was created
to combat it.

I was never too enthralled by the level of debate at Slashdot, once upon a
time thier news was decent, but even it seems days late or non relevant
more often than not. :(  (Mind you I have seen good slashdot posts, but
they have always been a small percentage, just now with more users they
are even harder to find)
