Just learned about the "lolcat" command and I have to say, the name is genius.

I didn’t know the “Machines should work. People should think.” slogan had a name. I thought it was something they came up for the Paperwork Explosion ad campaign.

How do you get the terminal font color gradient? Just got into custom Unix and I need this

If you're asking about the colors in the screenshot.. That's from the lolcat command: if you pipe any text into it, you get the color gradient.
