[–] nilved 12y ago ↗ "Linux" is quite a misnomer here. None of these are actually in Linux. [–] fletchowns 12y ago ↗ Oh come on you party pooper, it gets the point across well enough [–] binarycrusader 12y ago ↗ Not 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 12y ago ↗ Not 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? [–] [deleted] 12y ago ↗ (comment deleted)
[–] Negitivefrags 12y ago ↗ sl 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.

[–] WizzleKake 12y ago ↗ Always wondered what sl was... now I know!$ slThe program 'sl' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:sudo apt-get install sl
[–] mwcampbell 12y ago ↗ The Star Wars traceroute looks like an extravagant waste of IPv4 addresses. Am I missing something? [–] hoov 12y ago ↗ The implementation details are pretty interesting: http://beaglenetworks.net/post/42707829171/star-wars-tracero....Apparently, it's an unused /24. [–] ieatdots 12y ago ↗ Nooooo not a WHOLE /24

[–] kernelcurry 12y ago ↗ i am now going to include sl on every install i ever do for other people. [–] andrewryno 12y ago ↗ I'm gonna add it to our chef builds, especially since you always misspell things. :P

[–] vezzy-fnord 12y ago ↗ I 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?
