There are files called /etc/motd and /etc/issue that get printed to all
ttys on startup. Change these to whatever you like. One nice option is
the linuxlogo, which prints an ASCII art penguin - it's in Debian, but
you can probably get it from Freshmeat and follow the instructions in
the README to hae it start at bootup.
