fortune's FreeBSD tips

The program 'fortune', which is often called in the .login file by default, has a nice collection of FreeBSD tips. You can access this a couple of ways:

$ /usr/games/fortune freebsd-tips

will print a single tip to your screen, while

$ /usr/games/fortune -m col freebsd-tips | less

will dump all the tips that contain the sequence 'col' to your screen. This will show you the nice short way using the col command to strip DOS End Of Line characters from your files (those are the ones that look like ^M in many places):

$ col -bx < DOSFIle > BSDFile

although I guess it also replaces tabs with spaces. An easier way is to just use the dos2unix command (and it's opposite, unix2dos).
