Linux on Film: Revenge Episode 9-10

Posted on 18:31 by Unknown
It's always awesome to see Linux on film.  One of the more popular TV shows of 2011, Revenge, actually showcased an unmistakable Linux desktop (on a laptop with a Windows sticker). 


One of the characters, a self-made tech founder, Nolan sports a high-powered system which he uses to monitor portable webcams and break into networks.  It's difficult to isolate which Linux distribution is installed but its definitely a customized distribution.  


  • The printer and My Computer icons are very familiar to Mandriva users.
  • The folder and mounted icons are from a Gnome theme set available on Ubuntu.
  •  The desktop is more than likely LXDE with PCMANFM as file manager.
There are plenty of webcam and remote manager applications in Linux but for some reason, the application Nolan uses to open a recorded video looks like a skinned VLC or SMPlayer.
