How to clear your terminal screen on Linux / FreeBSD
Clear the contents of your terminal screen

If you need to clear the contents your screen very fast, depending on your shell, you can use either clear command, or ^L (Ctrl+L) combination, if you're using bash shell.

^L is available on bash shell, while clear is available on most UNIX releases and on most shells. I've tested it on AIX, Red Hat and FreeBSD on sh, bash, ksh.

Also, you can issue the simple clear command and your screen will be cleared or add it as an alias for one key:

alias a='clear'

and pressing a key and then ENTER, your teminal will be cleared.
