Linux_Logo

latest version is 5.06

Celebrating ten+ years of linux_logo!

Here it is, my small linux claim to fame. A few years back I saw the need for a text-based logo and sysstem information program for Linux. It started small, but the e-mail and patches from people around the world have kept me working at it until it has developed into the program you see today. Feel free to try it out.

News

I released version 5.06 on 1 July 2009.
It adds a few new distribution logos, and fixes some minor issues with command-line logo selection.
I released version 5.05 on 5 June 2009.
It adds support for frv, m32r, and microblaze. It also has small fixes to Cyrix and ARM systems.
I released version 5.04 on 12 December 2008.
I re-checked over 180 x86 and x86_64 /proc/cpuinfo files to make sure proper clean CPU identification happens for all machines I know about. If you still get ugly results, please send me your /proc/cpuinfo file!

"Banner Mode" on my iBook, henparma ;)
The older "classic" mode still preferred by some people.

Support Files

Here is a tar file of all the "/proc/cpuinfo" files I've accumulated over the years to test linux_logo with. This must be useful to someone besides me.
