Great things that you can do with Unix Terminal

asciiviewer


We begin with one of the most eye-catching trick of the list, the asciiviewer. With this tool, you can convert and generate an image out of pure text.
For Installation type: sudo apt-get install aview
To Run Command type:  asciiview name_of_file -driver curses



aafire

Ideally, I wouldn’t recommend you to sit back and watch as your screen burns but how about watching fire inside your Linux Terminal? Seems absurd? Well, wait till you use the aafire command.
For Installation type: sudo apt-get install libaa-bin
To Run Command Type: aafire


cmatrix

Remember the ground-breaking sci-fi movie ‘The Matrix’? Ever wished to waltz through the Matrix itself? Well, if so, then the cmatrix is definitely ‘The One’ you are looking for:
For Installation Type:  sudo apt-get install cmatrix
To Run Command Type: cmatrix

fortune

Who needs fortune cookies when you have the Linux Terminal at your disposal. Run this command and prepare to be mystified as it predicts the future for you.
For Installation Type: sudo apt-get install fortune
To Run Type: fortune




oneko

Now you get to play ‘cat and mouse’ inside your very own terminal. Just grab the oneko package which converts your cursor into a mouse and creates a cute little cat which follows your cursor around. Let the chase begin.
For Installation Type: sudo apt-get install oneko
To Run Type: oneko







sl

This one is intended as a joke for those people who mistype the ls command as sl in a hurry. Just type in the command and sit back and watch as a steam locomotive rolls across your Linux Terminal
For Installation Type: sudo apt-get install sl
To Run Type: sl







cowsay

Get an ASCII cow in the terminal that says whatever you want it to say.
For Installation Type: sudo apt-get install cowsay
To Run Type: cowsay “Message_That_You_Wish”







Try with these commands also :
cowsay -f dragon Hello World
cowsay -f stegosauras Hello World
cowsay command can be used with the following by just replacing the 'f' parameter







xeyes

Xeyes is a GUI program which creates a set of eyes on the desktop which follow the movement of your mouse cursor.
To Run Type: xeyes 





xcowsay

Inspired by the original cowsay, the xcowsay does the same things as cowsay but in a graphical manner.
For Installation Type: sudo apt-get install xcowsay
To Run Type: xcowsay “Desired_Text”

It is a new system developed by Professor Ju Li and his team, which converts mechanical energy directly into electricity. A nother marvel from the research powerhouse  MIT , is of an electrochemistry principle-based system, designed to harness electrical energy  directly from mechanical energy. The research finds its presence in a research paper by MIT professor Ju Li, graduate students Soon Ju Choi and Sangtae Kim, and four others, published in the journal Nature Communications. Li believes that the newly developed system can be used to engineer wearable tech, as it provides a more pliant build. It can easily withstand any mechanical stress applied to it. Though, chances are less any humans will be able to break it. With a resemblance to the  Li-ion batteries , th...
