Fun in Linux – sl – Steam Locomotive

Most of the Linux users know about the command ls which is used to list directories and files. Do you know what happens if you mistype the command ls? i.e sl instead of ls? Well,, it just says, “Command not found”. But, if you install a tiny program called sl (Steam Locomotive), it runs a train across your terminal when you mistype the command ls as sl. (See video)

Run this command to install sl (Steam Locomotive) in your Linux system. (Watch the video for demonstration)

$ sudo apt-get install sl

Then run sl to check the installation. So, the next time when you mistype the ls command as sl, you’ll see a Steam Locomotive running across your browser!

$ sl
