Easter eggs in Linux

[Klaidas]

Ok, so I've been browsing the web today, and I decided to search for some cool Linux Easter eggs. I tested them, and here are some - enjoy! (P.S.: Also added screenshots )

OpenOffice.org - SatarWars game

1. Create a new sheet in openoffice.org Calc (spreadsheet)
2. enter this formula

=game()

and press enter. The cell will display

"say what?"

3. Now enter this formula:

=GAME("StarWars")

A new window will open with a little starward game. But if you type this formula again, the cell will return the display

oh no, not again!

. To be able to play again, you need to close the file, close openoffice.org and then make the same.

aptitude moo

Type

aptitude moo

& press ENTER. Aptitude responds with

There are no Easter Eggs in this program.

Type

aptitude -v moo

& press ENTER. This time, the response is

There really are no Easter Eggs in this program.

.
Ok, let's do more!

aptitude -v -v moo

causes it to respond with

Didn't I already tell you that there are no Easter Eggs in this program?

Put some more -v and see those answers yourself

Screenshot here

That's it Enjoy!

Oh, by the way, if you know some good linux earter eggs post them here!

Check out the starwars screensaver. It is sorta interesting. It pulls articles off the internet to display. may require you to install xscreensaver-data package

The star wars screensaver seems a great idea, but if it pulls things off of the Internet won't it destroy 'cap'?
In some countries (like South Africa) we are only allowed a three Gig cap and it's bad enough getting those 40 - 80 meg updates each evening!
