^yaar-i am searching for this feature,where u open a terminal some random text(proverbs,quotes) is shown.I have experianced this with Linux-mint terminal or knoppix dont remember.have to digg out what the trick is.btw,there is this one called "fortunes" which is may be used as the input.i have even saw a package fortunes-debian-hints:
This package provides a set of hints and tips on using Debian, in a
fortune database format. New Debian users (or administrators) may find its
advice particularly sage or helpful, and even veteren Debianites might
find some new tidbits.
someone research on this.btw linux-mint gnome users anyone?do u have this feature when opening terminal?
edit:found some links reg this.u can use fortunes or cowsay

i can install the kernel optimized for ur amd 64 from synaptic but then system arch will be 32bit or 64bit???

64bit is a pain in ass

 

[praka123]

the module ur trying to modprobe is available with amd optimized version.and remember gutsy offers better amd support wait till 18th for the release.also kalpik posted here that 64-bit is working well and for plugins,he uses nspluginwrapper for 32-bit apps.

 

[kalpik]

Yup, 64 bit is great now! Flash works.. Java browser plugin is a problem though. If you really need to run Java in your browser, there are a lot of scripts available for one-click install of 32 bit firefox and plugins too..

Just install fortune package and add the line to bashrc.
To add a little more variety to it, use it with cowsay.
In gentoo, I've enabled 'offensive' use flag for sudo and fortune-mod, I get some really nice quotes there. It's not for kids, so gary and other kids on the forum please don't try it.

 

[praka123]

i need to try it.btwn there is a debian-tipsntricks-fortunes package also available.shud try/

Hmm.. As i dont do many CPU intensive tasks, i wont be able to notice the increase in the CPU throughput. Though applications DO open blazingly fast!
