I actually noticed this the first time this episode was aired some months ago, but didn't get close enough of a look to determine the distro. Over the last couple years I've been playing particular attention to shows and movies to see which OS they use. Surprisingly, a lot of them do use Linux, or at least something that is very UNIX based. This trend seems particularly prevalent in shows which are technical in nature, Alias, 24, etc. My guess is that it's trivial to make a system look like it's doing a lot more "computer" stuff with linux, since you only need 2 or 3 terminal windows open doing things like running top, ps, netstat -a, etc. vs. Windows and Macs which everyone knows, and don't look all the technical to most people anymore. -- Seeya, Paul ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
