I found this on OMG!Ubuntu earlier yesterday evening.

It's simply a script, which fetches basic system information about your computer, and I immediately thought it would be an easy way for newbies to be able to give us information about their systems, if and when we request it when trying to help with problems.
It is, as we're all aware, one of the first things we usually want to know....
Available as a .deb file, or a tarball, I've simply turned the tarball into a .pet package. Well, actually I've turned it into two .pet packages. One, you install, then run the single command
Code: Select all
neofetch
Code: Select all
neofetch --travis
Here, I have it running in Sakura, in Slacko 560:-
The supplied packages will run in urxvt, since it's the standard terminal in the majority of Pups.
-----------------------------------------
The other one, for absolute beginners to Linux, who don't even know what a terminal is, much less where to find it, or how to use it, adds a Menu Entry. So all they need to do is download the .pet, install it, then go into Menu->Utility, and click on 'Neofetch System Info'.....and the command will then run in the terminal, and display the output.
Hopefully, this might help to make things easier for everybody all round. My thanks to nosystemdthanks, mjmikulcik, dancytron, and one or two others earlier on, for helping to make the 'beginners' package possible with advice about the terminal commands and flags.

You can find the .pet packages at my Google Drive a/c. The CLI version for those who know what they're doing is here:-

.....and the 'beginner's' version (with GUI) can be found here:-

Enjoy.
