If you use SSH or telnet to connect to your OS X box remotely, you'll notice that you see Welcome to Darwin! every time you connect.

If you'd like it to say something more meaningful or entertaining, simply pick your favorite editor and edit

/etc/motd
Insert the message of your choice and save your changes. Now you'll be connecting to "Tom's Terrific G4 Tower of Terror!" instead of boring old Darwin!
