Star Wars Ep IV A New Hope (from the terminal)

[BLTicklemonster]

Okay, this is called an XP easter egg, but I decided to try it in linux.

Open the terminal and paste this into it

telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

and sit back and watch.

Neat, huh?

That is absolute genius!

I was thinking just a few hours ago that someone somewhere MUST have done something matrix-y with terminal- anyone know of anything?

[BLTicklemonster]

And yeah, we all know it's telnet, not an easter egg, but it's still cool.

I wonder if you googled if you find some more? Post 'em if you find 'em!

That's pretty cool... definitely no girlfriend for that guy!

[d3v1ant_0n3]

Try these in terminal:

aptitude moo

aptitude -v moo

aptitude -v -v moo

aptitude -v -v -v moo

aptitude -v -v -v -v moo

aptitude -v -v -v -v -v moo

One after the other.

It's quite funny.

apt-get moo

also

Although the first one is cooler, really.

You can do the same thing with mplayer and the aalib video output option.

It's great for us sub-1Ghz fans, whose 2Mb VRAM laptops don't quite have the guts to keep up otherwise.
