Rofles, to say the least.

lol, which map is that?

That's the second-last single-player mission, I think. The one where you have to get down to the launch control centre to disable the ballistic missiles.

Also, it doesn't particularly look like Ubuntu. Just a generic Unix/Linux-esque desktop.

Hmm I'm not sure. That window border looks a lot like the Windows XP one, just orange instead of blue.

[CharmyBee]

It's XP. Trebuchet MS is being used.

Good enough for their in game gag, not good enough to support for running their game.. I am a tiny bit offended really.

[tom66]

Heh, looks like XP, but orange.

generic terminals != ubuntu. Hell the decorations arn't even gnome like, the right hand screen is a a generic window manager, looks more like beos or something old than ubuntu (especially as last time i checked neither ubuntu nor gnome looked that orange or had suck xp like window deco)

if you want to see linux in films/tv, try heros (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&safe=off&um=1&ei=hPigSt79LZT5-AbvvtHMDw&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=kde+on+heroes&spell=1&start=0) or the nmap movies (http://nmap.org/movies.html) section (seams to be down atm)

Isn't the center screen a simulator for the Apollo guidance computer? I know I just saw a screenshot like that somewhere on the darn internet. ... Maybe I am mistaken.

Edit: No, it's not. But I know I just saw something like that in the last week or so. ... Hmm. ... :-k

That almost looks like it could be the map editor... which would be funny. I don't think it's Ubuntu, though.

[super61]

Its the second to last for the nuke missle launch tot he control room. But at first glance it looks like it. Who knows... but its funny.

[Sealbhach]

Just looks like a generic desktop that happens to have orange window borders, not necessarily intended to look like Ubuntu.
