General : Veronica Mars: Ubuntu vs Mac OS X

General

This is old news and some of you already know about it, but it is worth the adding. I heard my first mention of Linux, and specifically Ubuntu, in a television show. In this episode the school has been receiving bomb threats. As Veronica is walking towards the school’s computer lab she hears two people arguing.

Quote:

Male voice: If you haven’t even tried Ubuntu how can you say you don’t like it? It had the 2.6 kernel and Gnome 2 on the day Warty Warthog was released.

Female voice:(who turns out to be Mac, the resident girl geek Veronica turns to for computer help): I’m happy with OS X. It’s got (something about all the awkgrep that I need) and I don’t have to worry about font de-uglification.
