In this article I will show you some Ubuntu / Linux / Unix Easter Eggs. No, I do not refer to the coloured eggs we smash on Easter, but some terminal entertainment.

1. SL:

sl stands for Steam Locomotive.

When you type sl, accidentally instead of ls, you get a Locomotive, if you install the sl package:

$ sudo apt-get install sl
$ sl
