Sarcastic Kernal

arkanix · 07-22-2003, 02:46 PM

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of a script for the kernal that is funny or sarcastic

for instance I type in the wrong command and in the console it says
"Are you stupid?"
or if I stay in root to long it would say somthing like
"You really do have a death wish?"

Well I think you got the idea hey if I could script Id do it myself but im super newbie I mean I kind of just started with linux my uncle got me into it im in the middle of installing redhat linux hope I dont get any errrors this time :P

I seem to remember that SuSE (8.1 at least) made certain commands print helpful comments - such as 'Linux doesn't use the command copy, try cp instead.' - I just can't remember where these were kept! I'm pretty sure it was a file in /etc (as it would be - obvious statement there).

To those who don't think the kernel has a sense of humor, I have three words for you: lp0 on fire!

(google if you are one of the "uninitiated" and don't know this one)
