okay bestie, welcome to the ubuntu-server-tip page from the fortunes-ubuntu-server manual, section 1 π«Ά pull up a chair, this one's short and sweet
β¨ NAME β¨
ubuntu-server-tip β shows you one lil short tip about the Ubuntu Server πΈ
π DESCRIPTION π
so here's the vibe: ubuntu-server-tip displays one random tip about the Ubuntu Server, and it pulls that tip out of a fortune(1) database π like, it's literally a fortune cookie but the cookie is a server tip and the cookie is also a database
if you wanna enable or disable printing this in the /etc/motd when you log in, go edit /etc/default/ubuntu-server-tips β¨ that's the whole toggle, no cap
also there's a whole website, go be nosy: http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-server-tips π
