191eb488de Our standard "xterm" termcap entry supports colour, so this tip is redundant. 
As it happens, "xterm-color" has just been an alias for "xterm" since
src/share/termcap/termcap.src 1.131 in September 2002.

majority of on line references.

918be43d84 [patch] fortune(6): George Bernard Shaw quote fix 
From the original PR:

    s/milestones/millstones/
    and less important..
    s/man/Man/
    Not every source I've seen capitalizes 'Man', but it seems
    right. Uncapitalized 'man' would usually be preceded by
    an 'a'. But I haven't seen any reference cite the orignal
    source yet, so I can't say for sure.

42186e4f70 Put back the quote from Chinggis Khan removed in rev. 1.259. 
The quote predated rev. 1.232, which rev. 1.259 was to correct;
therefore it was protected by the "Don't remove fortunes" rule.
