Linux Jokes

Posted on: July 19, 2008 4:40 PM, by Greg Laden

More Computer Humor available here. Samples below:

Excerpt from "Fifty Ways to Leave your Editor:

Just press control-K, Ray, Try double-Z, Fred, You're still in insert, Bert, So hit control-C. Press meta-x, Lex, Then type, `exit-quit-leave' Or else just suspend, friend, and kill(1) it with glee.

Or, in case you are missing Winter, try this Xmas Carol:

better !pout !cry better watchout lpr why santa claus town cat /etc/passwd >list ncheck list ncheck list cat list | grep naughty >nogiftlist cat list | grep nice >giftlist santa claus town

who | grep sleeping
who | grep awake
who | grep bad || good
for (goodness sake) {be good}

etc etc. Or, should I say "/etc"

The following are command line funnies. These do not work in bash or sh. Maybe those of you with bsd can give it a try:

1. % make love Make: Don't know how to make love. Stop.

2. % got a light?
No match.

3. % sleep with me
bad character

4. % man: Why did you get a divorce?
man:: Too many arguments.

5. % rm God
rm: God nonexistent
