cmatrix now also for centos redhat and suse12! 😀

the probably most important linux program in cyberspace…. and neither centos nor suse have it in their repositories. shame! 😀

The Matrix has you

matrix just changed color 😀

red-matrix

if you wanna feel like a real hacker… try

 

apt-get update && apt-get install cmatrix;
cmatrix; # run the damn thing

cmatrix -C red -a; # red matrix

# almost as cool as
cat /dev/urandom

 

OMG it even got a manpage: cmatrix-man.txt

AMAZING STUFF!

thanks to chrisa@asty.org http://www.asty.org/cmatrix/

Why debian is the best distro:

because it has a cmatrix package… while you have to compile it yourself for CentOS/RedHat.

here is the source: https://www.asty.org/cmatrix/dist/cmatrix-1.2a.tar.gz

backup mirror download: cmatrix-1.2a.tar.gz

binaries: cmatrix_64_32_binaries.zip

# sha512sum of that zip should be

Suse12 probably does not have it at all 😀 – but super hackers will probably manage to get it to run on suse as well.

… well actually both binaries run pretty nicely on suse12 as well 😀
