Remove first line of file

Is there an easy way to remove the first line of a file so that the file:

aaron
benjamin
cecilia
daniel
elliot
fernando

would become

benjamin
cecilia
daniel
elliot
fernando
 sed 1d file
ruby -ne 'print if $.>1' file

To edit the file on spot!!

 
perl -ni -e "print if $.!=1" file
awk 'NR>1' infile
