More Linux Basics

A fun little program on *nix that takes no explaining is fortune, usually found at /usr/games/fortune. It can be used to display brief messages in console or otherwise. It just so happends to be rather easy to create a custom ‘fortune’ file to display whatever you like. I’ve created one that displays romanian quotes, thanks to wikiquote. You can get it here: romanian-fortunefiles.tar.gz

Just untar (tar xzvf romanian-fortunefiles.tar.gz) wherever you like and use it.
Any romanian linux users please feal free to correct my mistakes, although I tried to do the best I know. It would be great to add more as well, as long as they’re clean.
