After a long wait of months at last it happened, the premiere of Buck Bunny. The premier of Big Buck Bunny was on 9th April 2008 at Amsterdam Film Academy.
After the successful project “orange”, blender foundation started their second movie project on October, 2007. Big Buck Bunny is the second movie project from blender foundation, which is created using free and open source tools.
This movie is based on one big rabbit and three Rodents. Don’t know more about it, need to wait for DVD release and HTTP/FTP mirrors

It will be interesting to look at the tools they used to build the movie, so lets check it
Work station
Hardware : As per the official blog there are 8 work stations for the Peach project which created Big Buck Bunny. 5x Maqina C6850DC 3D Blender Work-station’s and 2x Maqina X5130DC Workstation’s.
Ref : http://www.maqina.nl/product/viewproduct.asp?AreaID=-364187415&ProductFormID=1078838818
They used NIS and NFS facility to connect all the work stations and all of them used Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 as Desktop. Blender was the main animation tool along with Gimp and many other open source graphics tool.
So who said open source will not be able to use in production environment

Some times you may have faced a situation in which you can use the first 8 letters of your password for server login even though your actual password length is more than 8 character.
This occurs because of the method of encryption used in linux system. The DES http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Encryption_Standard is used in many system to encrypt password uses only 8 characters, rest of the characters doesn’t matters in DES. So anyone can login using first 8 characters of the password.
The solution is to change the encryption method.
1. Run the command “setup” in command prompt

2. Select “Authentication configuration” and press “run tool” button
3. In Authentication section select “Use MD5 passwords.

6. press ok and change the password using “passwd” command.
that will fix the issue.
