apropos motd
apt-cache search motd
dpkg -S motd

/etc/motd is dumped to stdout when a user logs in.
there are some processes (during system boot? maybe?)
that add the standard

	Linux server 2.2.17 #1 Sun Jun 25 09:24:41 EST 2000 i586 unknown

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #15 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com> 
:
Is there a good place to learn snarky PERL TECHNIQUES? One of
my favorites is http://webtechniques.com, where Randall Schwartz
contributes a monthly sample, explaining line-by-line what his
code does, and why. (Look under "Programming with Perl" in the
archives.)
