    CLI, displays system info distribution logo

    I remember screenshots in which a cli window is opened and in it kernel version, processor type, and other information is displayed along with a nice little ascii art of the distribution logo. I have seen it for gentoo and debian, but forget the name. Anybody know of this application?

    That is exactly what I'm looking for! Thank you. linuxlogo is such an obvious name for it, should have probably searched an extra day.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    The package is linux_logo for RPM-based systems, and can be found in the rpmforge repository. For Debian-based systems like Ubuntu, et al, the package is named linuxlogo and can be installed with the command sudo apt-get install linuxlogo - hope this helps. Anyway, once installed, on Red Hat type systems, the command is linux_logo (with the underscore), and on Debian/Ubuntu systems it would be linuxlogo without the underscore. Don't know why they use different names, but I just installed them on my RHEL/SL6 system and my Ubuntu 10.10 laptop, and they do pretty much what you say.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
