Linux Easter Eggs !
I just came across this over net.
* Apt-get and aptitude both have easter eggs. Execute this in Terminal/Konsole of any Debian based distro :
* Press Alt+F2 and type thisCode:aptitude help This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers. aptitude moo There are no Easter Eggs in this program. aptitude -v moo There really are no Easter Eggs in this program. aptitude -vv moo Didn’t I already tell you that there are no Easter Eggs in this program? aptitude -vvv moo Stop it! aptitude -vvvv moo Okay, okay, if I give you an Easter Egg, will you go away? aptitude -vvvvv moo All right, you win. /----\ -------/ \ / \ / | -----------------/ --------\ ---------------------------------------------- aptitude -vvvvvv moo What is it? It's an elephant being eaten by a snake, of course.
A fish will then appear on the screen and will keep moving around.Code:free the fish
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

I've always loved that 'free the fish'. The only thing is, how do you get rid of it?!
