i like to see a fortune when i open a new terminal... slackware style...



sudo apt-get install fortune



cat >> $HOME/.bashrc << "EOF"
/usr/games/fortune
EOF


Sign here without admitting guilt.
mkultra [ ~ ]$ :P

you will need to install the fortune package and cookies package from the repository in synaptic.

I had at least 10 minutes of laughing by using the -o option with fortune, but be warned:



-o Choose only from potentially offensive aphorisms. Please, please,
please request a potentially offensive fortune if and only if you
believe, deep down in your heart, that you are willing to be
offended. (And that if you are, you'll just quit using -o rather
than give us grief about it, okay?)


Have fun :).
