Depends on your WM/DM (window manger or display manager). If you're using Gnome, then it's probably GDM. Look up "GDM splash screen" and you should find what you need.

If you don't mind it appearing after the initial splash, you could probably just put something in your .bashrc

where the fuck ... did you guys learn all this ?

I'm feeling  right now  !

I'm using GNOME !

Splash screen = that means the screen on startup ?

Basically what I want to do is after I've logged in and start-up my os to display a random picture from a folder or a random text from a text file !

Example : to display some wise words everytime I've logged in to my computer !

Then I'll cron it to make it appear every 1 hour !

I don't think splashy could to this job ...

I need more motivation, if you know what I mean  !

Ah no, splashy is about a startup graphic when the machine very first comes on, not when you first log in. My mistake.
