[CoLoCo] Linux in Movies and TV

[David Overcash]

Anti-Trust had more incorrectly formatted HTML and Javascript than anything
else...  but it definitely had a Linux prompt at several points in the movie
(such as when Milo is cracking into the system through the pre-school area).

I can't seem to think of any other references though..  War Games had a
unix-ish prompt at several points... but back then everything looked that
way (DOS, Mac, or *nix)
