Yup, 64 bit is great now! Flash works.. Java browser plugin is a problem though. If you really need to run Java in your browser, there are a lot of scripts available for one-click install of 32 bit firefox and plugins too..

Just install fortune package and add the line to bashrc.
To add a little more variety to it, use it with cowsay.
In gentoo, I've enabled 'offensive' use flag for sudo and fortune-mod, I get some really nice quotes there. It's not for kids, so gary and other kids on the forum please don't try it.
