Not to be a buzz kill, but how exactly are these "Linux" easter eggs? Do they constitute the typical definition of what an easter egg is?

"Linux" is quite a misnomer here. None of these are actually in Linux.

Always wondered what sl was... now I know!<p>$ sl<p>The program &#x27;sl&#x27; is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:<p>sudo apt-get install sl

The Star Wars traceroute looks like an extravagant waste of IPv4 addresses. Am I missing something?

sl is fun to install on a shared server.<p>Even better when you hear &quot;What the hell?&quot; from across the room when someone else runs in to it.<p>I&#x27;m going to turn on &quot;Default insults&quot; in sudo and hope for a similar result.

I could forgive most of these, but really... doing a traceroute or Telnet session on a remote server that has been configured to act in a humorous manner is a &quot;Linux&quot; easter egg?
