Back when dinosaurs roamed and most ale-ers had non-gray hair (or hair at all!) and terminals were amber or green, tools like calendar were essential.<br>
<br>
For tiny systems, that's a great tool!<br>

see 'cal' command. It is in util-linux-ng package so is installed on Fedora and RHEL. It will not do the birthday thing from the OP but will display a simple 1 month (default), prior/current/next 3-month spread, or full year all with current day highlighted.<br>
