When I found these funniest Linux/Unix shell commands, I just had to share them. Here are my favourites:

% sleep with me

bad character

% If I had a ( for every $ the Congress spent, what would I have?
Too many (’s.

% ^How did the sex change operation go?^
Modifier failed.

% !:say, what is saccharine?
Bad substitute.

What’s your favourite?

It seems like everybody uses the free PuTTY client for accessing SSH
from Windows, but the lack of a tabbed interface has kept me using the
commercial SecureCRT application for years… until now.

With the PuTTY Connection Manager you can not only use tabs, but
also wrap PuTTY in a slick interface. The underlying client is still
the same putty.exe that you are used to… in fact the application
doesn’t even come bundled with it.

The first time you launch the application you’ll be asked to enter the location to your copy of PuTTY.

And finally, a tabbed version of PuTTY!

The 2008.0 final release is out! Code-named “It’s got what plants
crave,” this release contains numerous new features including an updated
installer, improved
hardware support, a complete rework of profiles, and a move to Xfce
instead of GNOME on the LiveCD. LiveDVDs are not available for x86 or
amd64, although they may become available in the future. The 2008.0
release also includes updated versions of many packages already
available in your ebuild tree.

• Updated installer: The installer now only performs
  networkless installations using the packages and ebuild tree on
  the LiveCD. It also contains numerous fixes for extended and
  logical partitions.
• Improved hardware support: Moving to the 2.6.24 kernel added
  many new drivers for hardware released since the 2007.0 release.
• Complete rework of profiles: Restructuring profiles allowed
  significant cleanup of redundancies, reducing developer maintenance and
  confusion. The difference for you is that profiles now appear in
  /usr/portage/profiles/ under default/linux/
  instead of default-linux/. See the upgrading guide for more
  details.
• Xfce instead of GNOME on the LiveCD: To save space,
  the LiveCDs switched to the smaller Xfce environment. This means
  that a binary installation using the LiveCD will install Xfce,
  but you’re still free to build GNOME or KDE from source.
• No LiveDVDs on x86 or amd64: In the interest of getting the
  release out, the release engineering
  team decided to postpone LiveDVDs because of problems in their
  generation. They may show up later—if so, we’ll let you know.
• Updated packages: Highlights of the 2008.0 release include
  Portage 2.1.4.4, a 2.6.24 kernel,
  Xfce 4.4.2, gcc 4.1.2 and glibc 2.6.1.
