I want to have a text file appear on firing-up any of the boxen - two running Debian and the other, Xandros.
Not sure where to search in / so I'm saving time - with any luck.
The idea is to (first, remember to) make a note of future appointments, jaunts, meetings, reminders to do things, etc., so I can ignor^h^h^attend to them and erase jobs done, etc..
For ssh/xterminal/etc logins, you just need to add a line to your ~/.bashrc (which should be sourced by ~/.bash_profile anyways), that does: cat /path/to/my/fun/file.txt
For X11/graphical logins, you can add lines to ~/.xsessionrc, all (sensible) logins will source that file, so you could then do something like: xless /path/to/my/fun/file.txt&
That should get you started :)
