Linux Easter Eggs
- nilved 13y ago"Linux" is quite a misnomer here. None of these are actually in Linux.
- fletchowns 13y agoOh come on you party pooper, it gets the point across well enough
- binarycrusader 13y agoNot really, I was expecting "easter eggs" in the kernel itself. Disappointed to find they are common to any OS running typical common FOSS programs. In fact, many of these can be seen on Windows if you're using cygwin! So a far more accurate title would have been "Top 10 FOSS Easter Eggs".
- thex86 13y agoNot to be a buzz kill, but how exactly are these "Linux" easter eggs? Do they constitute the typical definition of what an easter egg is?

- Negitivefrags 13y agosl is fun to install on a shared server. Even better when you hear "What the hell?" from across the room when someone else runs in to it. I'm going to turn on "Default insults" in sudo and hope for a similar result.
- kbar13 13y agoCan I say content farm?
- hartator 13y agoDo you think it can be only a marketing strategy from DG? Seems pretty genuine.
- WizzleKake 13y agoAlways wondered what sl was... now I know! $ sl The program 'sl' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install sl
- mwcampbell 13y agoThe Star Wars traceroute looks like an extravagant waste of IPv4 addresses. Am I missing something?

- hoov 13y agoSome shells do this -- at least Zsh and Fish, probably more.
- kernelcurry 13y agoi am now going to include sl on every install i ever do for other people.
- andrewryno 13y agoI'm gonna add it to our chef builds, especially since you always misspell things. :P
- vezzy-fnord 13y agoI could forgive most of these, but really... doing a traceroute or Telnet session on a remote server that has been configured to act in a humorous manner is a "Linux" easter egg?
- phamilton 13y agoanother favorite is gti On Mac OS X: brew install gti
