Creating banners in the Ubuntu terminal!



SCO UNIXware has a built in 'banner' program that creates a blown-up version of the characters you supply with the command.
However, Ubuntu does not provide this program. A workaround for this is a 'banner' clone called 'sysvbanner' that does the same job.
Simply search for 'sysvbanner' in the 'Synaptic Package Manager' and mark it for installation.
Banners are created horizontally using the '#' symbol.
