Sorry. :( Having used, hosted, patched FreeBSD for ~25 years, I personally like 'fortune', or something alike with 'hits' about the system, shell, etc... However, I doubt there is a 'system requirement' to have it as part of base. I have *never* used 'games', ever that I recall... :-) I am personally less (really not) concerned about 'offensive' entries. People throughout history have said and written things that will offend someone somewhere. In the USA I would think this effectively falls under the First Amendment. We can say what we want, when we want, as long as we understand that we are (still!) *responsible* for what we say. As long as such potential entries are properly accredited to the origin, even if the entry is potentially offensive we could learn something from it. (IMHO it is not wrong or bad to be reminded of evil done in history). Just my 2 cents. Not an invite to discussion... Jan
