Sudo Make Me A Sandwich
For all the people that couldn’t see this link by itself, I’m surrounding with a large mountain of text. Yep, the original image is a comic from XKCD, which has a pretty liberal CC license that says “hey link to me plz,” so here is the link that has always been here:

Damn, I’m a nerd because that one got a few chuckles out of me.
I started using sudo after I got tired of typing in a huge command hitting enter and it saying you must be root to do this then su ing into root and then you can’t hit the uparrow for the command again so you have to retype it all… now its just up arrow, home, sudo
That is MOST excellent
The wives understand this stuff, and I am sure she was a little excited for you.

Only One word: LoL
Call me stupid and a nidjit, but I don’t get this…

Just FYI, you can also, after running the command you needed to do as superuser, just type in:
sudo !!
!! will then add on the previously used command with the sudo before.
Cheers!
thanks for this. it made my day.

Unix geeks will appreciate this: Blatantly stolen from here. Thanks Greg for the link…….

Great. Now there is a sandwich. But it’s not your sandwich, it’s root’s sandwich. Are you really going to steal root’s lunch?
[...] Overall he fit in with the theme of the conference really well and provided much food for thought. One of my favourite moments was Corey trying to explain this comic to the room without actually showing an image. [...]
Way to steal content, *******.
Hey Sam, check out the license–"This means you’re free to copy and share these comics (but not to sell them)."
Ooops. My bad. Sorry bout the whole ******* thing.

so how about putting a link to the original under the image?
The link is above the image?
Humourous, but i still think it would be funnier if it was “Sudo GET me a sanwhich”….or sudo apt..
Until recently I wouldn’t have got it at all. Lately I’ve necessarily become a sudo guru and when I saw this I nearly shat myself.
For the layman, think of sudo as the Imperius Curse (well described in wikipedia: Spells_in_Harry_Potter).
i.e. “Imperio make me a sandwich”
or perhaps:
Harry: Leave me alone!
Voldemort: MWA-HAHAHA!! CRUCIO!
Harry: sudo Leave me alone!
Voldemort: Oh. Alright then.
