Happy Thanks Giving people!
Anyway,
I have watched the Social network Recently and it was epic.
I absolutely loved the KDE Ui in one of the scenes:

What OS is this?
Kubuntu 3.5?
Im wondering as a love the GUI in this one.
Thanks people!
Sorry if this sounds a little nooby.
But i have only just went down the road of Linux and KDE but so far lovin it!

That looks like early KDE 3 or possibly even KDE 2. With the right icon theme, appropriate Plasma theme, and using Plastique style KDE 4 could probably obtain a similar appearance though.

The screenshot is a bit strange - the gray wallpaper was the default around 3.1, 3.2, and so is the window deco and the widget theme.

But the icons are not crystal, but look older - KDE 2.something.

Since Mozilla 1.0 was released in 2002, I'm leaning towards it being KDE 3.1 with a non-default icon theme.

As for the "OS", my guess is Slackware 8 which would fit the requirements above, and it was popular at universities back then.

p.s. Kubuntu was first released in 2005

Thank you for that very informative reply!
I think it is Slackware.

It's actually very nice on the part of the makers of the movie that they gave attention to such tiny details. I mean, the story its based on is from the days of KDE 3, but we have kde 4 for a few years now. Just using kde 4 would during the shoot would probably have gone unnoticed, but would not have been true to the movie. GREAT!!! what do u all think??

Well, it is not that unusual to find KDE 3.x on universities to this day. So, the 'attention to detail' could be even accidental

True that. There are still some at "my" university, but the Linux workstations are mostly Gnome though (and an old version of Gnome at that).

Sounds probable. hehe

defiantly KDE 3.0 - 3.1 with the keramic theme and old KDE 2 icons (these were included as a icon theme option in KDE 3 (either way it predates thin keramic.)

It's funny I hated that look when it was new and I still think it looks bad.

It was Debian Lenny. Debian's Firefox fork Iceweasel gave it a away, since it was quite easy to spot.

Iceweasel? It didn't exist back then. In this screenshot, the old Mozilla (now Mozilla Suite - Seamonkey) is shown

Ah sorry, I was talking about the final scene when he keeps refreshing the facebook page. As a Debian user, the older setup seems also really familiar, so my guess is that he uses Debian through the movie.

Awesome, thanks!

In this screenshot KDE appears to be of a newer date than the one in the first sshot.
