I saw this last night while prepping for Christmas.  I was watching Sea Disasters on TV.  There was a scene just seconds before all hell broke loose, where someone noticed the onboard systems were failing.  The camera cuts over to a monitor using a tiling window manager running htop, xmatrix screensaver and something else.  Just looking at it, I could tell disaster was looming ahead.  My first reaction was "Cool, they're using Linux!" but after a little morning research I realize that it's possible it could be something else.

I don't know why they always want to show htop and xmatrix. Also, I've seen ping and trace route. I guess text in a terminal looks hacker-ish to them.

I think it's because using htop and xmatrix together looks very scary....I mean, you should have seen their faces on that show when they noticed it!  I think the icing on the cake would have been if they'd included xeyes!
