Terminal on Linux ( and MAC ) is generally used to carry out advanced and complex tasks. Just a line of command , and you are good to go !
Well , besides , are there any cool , funny things you could do on terminal ?
Yes ! Let's try some !
* Train on terminal :
Have you ever wondered if a train could run across your terminal ?
Procedure :
sudo apt-get install sl
now , just type sl , and you'll see an express train moving across your terminal.

A cow ?
The xcowsay is another terminal command that echos what ever is typed on the screen. But , the driving part here is that a cow pops up the screen and says this !
Procedure :
sudo apt-get install xcowsay
command :
xcowsay " hello " ;

* Aview
This command is pretty interesting. It prints any image of your choice in ASCII format.
Procedure :
sudo apt-get install aview
command :
asciiview image_name.jpg/png -driver curses

* Oneko
This is probably the most cutest command !
This command drops a small , little rabbit on your screen that keeps chasing your cursor.
Procedure :
sudo apt-get install oneko
command :
oneko

* Xeyes
The command brings a small tab with two eyes that follow your cursor.
command :
xeyes
