1. Command: sl (steam locomotive)

You may understand the 'Ls' command and often use it to view the folder content. However, sometimes you may spell it as 'S1'. how can we get some fun instead of seeing "command not found?

Install sl

 
 

  
  
root@tecmint:~# apt-get install sl      (In Debian like OS) 
  
  
root@tecmint:~# yum -y install sl       (In Red Hat like OS) 
 
 

Output

 
 

  
  
root@tecmint:~# sl 
 
 

When you input 'Ls' instead of 'Ls', this command will also run.

2. Command: telnet

None! No !! This is not as complicated as it is. You may be familiar with telnet. Telnet is a trusted two-way network protocol. You do not need to install anything here. What you need is a Linux system and a connected network.

 
 

  
  
root@tecmint:~# telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl 
 
 

3. Command: fortune

Try your unknown luck, and sometimes there is fun in the terminal.

Install fortune

 
 

  
  
root@tecmint:~# apt-get install fortune     (for aptitude based system) 
  
  
root@tecmint:~# yum install fortune         (for yum based system) 
  
  
root@tecmint:~# fortune 
  
  
You're not my type.  For that matter, you're not even my species!!! 
  
  
Future looks spotty.  You will spill soup in late evening. 
  
  
You worry too much about your job.  Stop it.  You are not paid enough to worry. 
  
  
Your love life will be... interesting.
