Framebuffer consoles don't. Although they're a bit larger than 80x24 so it matters less. If a novice user doesn't know about the "help" command, it is also likely that they will either (a) not know that a framebuffer console has no scrollback buffer, or (b) not know the magic keystrokes to scroll a text-mode console (on a PC, it's not simply "PgUp"). I do like the idea of making MOTD shorter. -ken
