According to one of the comments, this is not new but it is new to me.The command worked for me. I did not install anything but it was there. Are there any other "hidden" programs? In kernel? :o

@Coastie
It's starting a telnet session, like a remote terminal on towel.blikenlights.nl
It's not actually in Linux...

It works on any platform you can run "Telnet" on, even Winblows(arg wash mouth out) :o :o  like this

Looked up Telnet on Wikipedia. Still confused. Is this Star Wars thing a program or am I connecting to a website that it is on or something else?  :-\

It is a form of Ascii Art
Some clever people can create pictures, static or moving by clever use of ascii codes.

Like when you type in some commands in a terminal you see text appear and it moves.

Wiki: Ascii Art

Yes, it is a remote computer, when you connect to it, it auto-runs the ascii art.

Thanks, Wirezfree.

I would mark this topic solved but don't see option for this.
