Thank you for the comment above Dapper Dan, and the fortune program is called fortune. It comes with FreeBSD by default. I'm pretty sure it comes on a wide range of Linux distros cause I've seen it before, but I'm not sure how to acquire it if you don't have it installed by default. It seems there are some rpms available if you do a Google search of linux fortune rpm or some similar combination of terms.
Here's my .profile file:
Code:
# $FreeBSD: src/share/skel/dot.profile,v 1.21 2002/07/07 00:00:54 mp Exp $
#
# .profile - Bourne Shell startup script for login shells
#
# see also sh(1), environ(7).
#

# remove /usr/games and /usr/X11R6/bin if you want
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11
R6/bin:$HOME/bin; export PATH

# Setting TERM is normally done through /etc/ttys.  Do only override
# if you're sure that you'll never log in via telnet or xterm or a
# serial line.
# Use cons25l1 for iso-* fonts
# TERM=cons25;  export TERM

BLOCKSIZE=K;    export BLOCKSIZE
EDITOR=vi;      export EDITOR
PAGER=more;     export PAGER

# set ENV to a file invoked each time sh is started for interactive use.
ENV=$HOME/.shrc; export ENV

[ -x /usr/games/fortune ] && /usr/games/fortune
Fortune's there at the bottom.

Well, I've only been working on this one for a short while but I think it is a decent looking desktop.

I am using KDE 3.3.0 with SuperKaramba and the Nuvola icon set.

Hope you enjoy

Bryan
