Usually working with the terminal for a long time is a boring task even if you are a geek. Let spice up your gnome terminal with some add-ons, say a cow speaking interesting fortunes. If you are familiar with linux mint, you can see it is an unavoidable feature in the mint's terminal.
. . . installation
$ sudo apt-get intall cowsay
This is a very small package and the installation will commence in few seconds.
. . . configuration
Take the terminal and type as any of the following methodes
1.
$ cowsay
Then type the message that you want the cow to say and press Ctrl+D to save and terminate. On pressing this key the cow will start speaking the fortunes.
2.
$ fortune | cowsay
On executing this command cow will display any of the fortune in random from a set of fortunes in the fortune database.
3.
$ fortune | cowsay -n -f -tux.cow
This command will replace the cow with the tux. See the tux saying fortunes instead of the cow.
