You just run a single command to rebuild the database file that fortune
uses - hardly a "pretty long distance between two points".


-- 
BSD /B-S-D/ n.

 [abbreviation for `Berkeley Software
   Distribution'] a family of Unix versions for the DEC
   VAX and PDP-11 developed by Bill Joy and others at
   Berzerkeley starting around 1980, incorporating paged virtual
   memory, TCP/IP networking enhancements, and many other features.
   The BSD versions (4.1, 4.2, and 4.3) and the commercial versions
   derived from them (SunOS, ULTRIX, and Mt. Xinu) held the technical
   lead in the Unix world until AT&T's successful standardization
   efforts after about 1986; descendants are still widely popular.
   Note that BSD versions going back to 2.9 are often referred to by
   their version numbers, without the BSD prefix.  See 4.2,
   Unix, USG Unix.
