Ubuntu apt-get easter egg trick

Posted by mypapit on 20 Feb 2007 in GNU/Linux, Ubuntu/Debian

We may have been familiar with the usual apt-get operations for installing, updating and removing application packages on your Debian-base Linux operating system (Ubuntu is one of it).

But do you know that you can trigger it to show a hidden easter egg?

try typing “apt-get moo” and see it for yourself :)
