Pagine di Man

funny-manpages

Per installare queste simpatiche pagine di man è sufficiente un

# apt-get install funny-manpages

che, una volta terminata l'installazione, metterà a disposizione le seguenti manpage:

• man 1fun date
• man 1fun echo
• man 1fun gong
• man 1fun grope
• man 1fun party
• man 1fun rescrog
• man 1fun rtfm
• man 1fun rm
• man 1fun tm
• man 1fun xkill
• man 1fun baby
• man 1fun celibacy
• man 1fun flog
• man 1fun uubp
• man 1fun condom
• man 1fun flame
• man 1fun xlart
• man 6fun sex
• man 3fun strfry

sono tutte in inglese, ma vale la pena leggerle ;)

asr-manpages

Simile a funny-manpages, ma un po' più tecniche, sono le asr-manpages:

 A set of humorous manual pages developed on
 alt.sysadmin.recovery (don't treat them seriously!).
 They document a set of really useful tools that for some
 strange reason are not included in any implementation of
 Unix. This includes such famous commands as lart, sysadmin,
 luser, bosskill and others.
 The authors recommend these man pages should be installed
 on every system.

Per installarle, basta un semplice

# apt-get install asr-manpages

• man 8fun guru
• man 8fun nuke
• man 8fun bosskill
• man 8fun knife
• man 8fun pmsd
• man 8fun ctluser
• man 8fun luser
• man 5fun normality
• man 2fun people
• man 1fun lart
• man 1fun c
• man 1fun vslave
• man 1fun sysadmin
• man 1fun think
• man 1fun whack
• man 3fun chastise

ddate

ddate è un programma che converte una data nel formato Discordiano (cfr.: Discordianesimo.
Ecco un esempio:

$ ddate
Today is Sweetmorn, the 50th day of Confusion in the YOLD 3171
Celebrate Confuflux
