Yup, I like Linux bash, because it’s fun, fast and geeky! wanna exploit Linux bash as a fortune teller? just add the following lines to your “~/.bashrc” file, so whenever you open your Terminal or Konsole you’ll read a famous quote or some nice words about your fortune:


#let's have some fun when loggin in!
echo "==== Quote of the Day ===="
wget -q http://anduin.eldar.org/cgi-bin/fortune.pl?text_format=yes --output-document ~/fortune.out
cat ~/fortune.out
rm -f ~/fortune.out
echo "==== Linux rocks ===="

Requirements: wget and of course an Internet connection.
