Linux Logo

Now it's time for a bit of fun with Linux Logo! You can also use neofetch for the same purpose.

apt-get install linuxlogo

And then add this command to the end of your ~/.profile (~ is whatever user you login into).

On a single CPU box, use this command:

/usr/bin/linuxlogo -a -s -L 19 -F "#O Version #V, Compiled #C by bodhi\n #N #M #X #T Processor#S, #R RAM\n #U\n `dmesg | grep -i machine | cut -c40-120`\n #H"

On a multi-CPU box use this command:

/usr/bin/linuxlogo -a -s -L 19 -F "#O Version #V, Compiled #`uname -v` by bodhi\n #N #M #X #T Processor#S, #R RAM\n #U\n `dmesg | grep -i machine | cut -c40-120`\n #H"

There is a know bug documented by the linuxlogo author: the OS_Revision (#C formatted string) got truncated to 40 chars. This is not long enough for a SMP PREEMPT kernel.


Next time you log in, you will be met with a nice Debian logo and some useful info.

Change the string "by bodhi" in the command with whatever you'd like. Or add some new string to the command above.

Hi bodhi,

Nifty!

You may skip the -u option (display the system uptime), since it's overruled by the -F option, and add '#U\n' to the string in stead.

Best regards,

Thanks Trond!

A similar program is available called 'neofetch'. Example of default output after installing on Netgear-Stora:

          `"Y$b._

This is also configurable and the command 'neofetch --print_config' has extensive comments on the various configuration options.
