Besides all the GUI stuff, if you are in a terminal/console/CLI
just type : cal.
Here's the man page :
cal − displays a calendar
SYNOPSIS
cal [�smjy13] [[month] year]
DESCRIPTION
Cal displays a simple calendar. If arguments are not specified,
the current month is displayed. The options are as follows:
�1 Display single month output. (This is the default.)
�3 Display prev/current/next month output.
�s Display Sunday as the first day of the week. (This is
the default.)
�m Display Monday as the first day of the week.
�j Display Julian dates (days one‐based, numbered from
January 1).
�y Display a calendar for the current year.
A single parameter specifies the year (1 ‐ 9999) to be displayed;
note the year must be fully specified: “cal 89” will not display
a calendar for 1989. Two parameters denote the month (1 ‐ 12)
and year. If no parameters are specified, the current month’s
calendar is displayed.
A year starts on Jan 1.
The Gregorian Reformation is assumed to have occurred in 1752 on
the 3rd of September. By this time, most countries had
recognized the reformation (although a few did not recognize it
until the early 1900’s.) Ten days following that date were
eliminated by the reformation, so the calendar for that month is
a bit unusual.
HISTORY
A cal command appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
OTHER VERSIONS
Several much more elaborate versions of this program exist, with
support for colors, holidays, birthdays, reminders and
appointments, etc. For example, try the cal from
http://home.sprynet.com/~cbagwell/projects.html
or GNU gcal.
