Is that movie why seemingly every Linux book in the late 90s and early 2000s used "darkstar" as an example hostname?

It was the default slackware hostname, I believe slackware took inspiration from the movie

edit: I was wrong, it was from a Grateful Dead song. https://www.slackbook.org/html/glossary.html
