Although this is a long shot at best, there's a very brief scene with Bill Compton making a Skype call using a desktop in his home office. The workstation is clearly not an iMac and the absence of the Dock (and the use of a standard mouse and keyboard) is pretty obvious. However, the mounted drive and the icons indicate a Linux-based distribution. Skype, which is recognizable through the sound when Bill makes his video call, can of course be installed on Ubuntu, openSUSE, and other Linux distributions. It could still be a hidden Mac Mini, but most shows actually love showing off their Macs.
If accurate, True Blood (a supernatural and sexy series with various types of monsters) is one of the more unlikely candidates of a cameo from a Linux distribution.
