I was feeling left out....

"The program 'sl' is currently not installed.

You can install it by typing:

sudo apt-get install sl"

What's the point if I have to know about it and explicitly install it? Kind of ruins the surprise, but I guess I can set it up for unsuspecting others...

You forget about the intervening time between "install sl" and "accidentally type `sl`" where you forget about having installed sl.

I recall it being installed by default on an older version of Ubuntu.
