Opening Screen

Greetings All,
What is the procedure to make the open screen for R silent.  I would
to have my opening screen in Ubuntu 10.04 linux open to an empty
terminal.  Instead of the list of licenses and version of R that is
being run.  By the way, I am using RStudio as well.  I have entered
the following lines into my '/home/user/.Rprofile' but this is more of
a 'cheat' ;) to me.

.First<- function(){
  cat(rep("\n",10))
}
