Did anyone notice the reference to the free Unix operating system Linux in
last week's movie length X-Files?  Towards the end, Cancer Man is talking to
a co-conspirator about a fellow called Fecili Peskov:

 "He was a KGB Line-ex stringer working out of Moscow center."

Ok, the actor managed to pronoune it wrong, but I'm sure that was a
reference to Linux, presumabely riding on the story in the New York Times
that mentioned Linux as the OS of choice for "computer hackers."
 
Still, any publicity is good publicity.
