Earlier today someone in IRC chat room pointed out me an easter egg (hidden feature or message in a game or software or sound track) for Ubuntu Linux.
apt-get command easter egg
Open your terminal and type the command:
apt-get moo
(__) (oo) /------\/ / | || * /\---/\ ~~ ~~ ...."Have you mooed today?"...
aptitude command easter egg
Also try out following at a shell prompt:
aptitude -v moo
Output:
There really are no Easter Eggs in this program.
Now try one more time:
aptitude -vv moo
Output:
Didn't I already tell you that there are no Easter Eggs in this program?
Heh, keep adding more v options to a command:
aptitude -vvv moo
aptitude -vvvvv moo
I’m sure there are more easter eggs. I’d love to read about more hidden features in the comments section below.

LOL love them 🙂
Did anyone get the reference in the aptitude command? The Easter egg it gives you refers to “The Little Prince”, where the narrator draws a snake eating an elephant, and all the grown-ups laugh at him because he asks them if they are scared of it. They say, “Why should we be afraid of a hat?”
These are awesome! 😀
