    Command Line easter eggs

    Hi guys I thought I will open a thread for easter eggs in the command line I've read about this somewhere, and I think I'll share this with you guys:

    Open terminal, then write:

    apt-get moo

    And tell me what did you see After, you can try:

    cowsay 'your text here'

    If someone knows any other easter eggs, (I'm sure there are plenty of them) share it with us!

    Hmm, what do they do exactly? And I'll type them in when my Linux VPS has finished installing a package, as it won't let me do it at the moment should be <2 hours.

    Haha, I won't tell you It's a surprise :P By the way, you can do it right now, you can keep two terminals open at once... At least I think...

    Nah it won't let me run multiple commands at the moment, it's running a ton of processes at once, and surprisingly it's taking longer than expected, but oh well I can wait.

    Haha, that's pretty cool! I found some Easter eggs in the Windows command prompt, but they aren't too impressive. I usually don't use too much of the command prompt anyways, so that might be the reason too.

    Hey thanks for the 'moo' one! I've been searching for that specific command for some time, I saw it in a screenshot a while ago and I liked it a lot.

    P.S. Oh... a friend told me this and it's awesome: try 'figlet LinuxForum' and see what it shows up
