http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/13396/ There is a quick and dirty hack to do this in ubuntu - but it'd be good to have a motd in the terminal, as a light-hearted way for users to the terminal not to get so scared of it. Humour would be a bonuse at this stage :)

ALLES TURISTEN UND NONTEKNISCHEN LOOKENPEEPERS!

DAS KOMPUTERMASCHINE IST NICHT FÜR DER GEFINGERPOKEN UND MITTENGRABEN! ODERWISE IST EASY TO SCHNAPPEN DER SPRINGENWERK, BLOWENFUSEN UND POPPENCORKEN MIT SPITZENSPARKSEN.

IST NICHT FÜR GEWERKEN BEI DUMMKOPFEN. DER RUBBERNECKEN SIGHTSEEREN KEEPEN DAS COTTONPICKEN HÄNDER IN DAS POCKETS MUSS.

ZO RELAXEN UND WATSCHEN DER BLINKENLICHTEN.]]> Fri, 19 Sep 2008 00:04:06 +0000 So I'm for this. I really don't care about that "Ubuntu comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY"-warning at all, looks like pollution even if it's true: I don't need to read that every time really.

I would even like it if the MOTD's are somehow implented within the GUI somehow. A dialog that pops up every time you login wouldn't work but maybe there's a nice spot for them in the login window?]]> Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:38:29 +0000 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 20:25:27 +0000 And saving the mods in /etc/skel/.bashrc ?
Works for me]]> Thu, 02 Oct 2008 16:03:24 +0000
