    Xubuntu Narwhal. I don't suffer from the Unity Plague, and the memory usage is piddly. Plus, it runs it's own native compositor.

    Eventually I gotta find the command in the OS where it spits out the OS install name. Not just the Kernel, the whole name. I've seen the Byobu command terminal use it, I'd like to find out how to make any command line spit it out on call.

    Does this work for you?

    Code:
    vindsl@Zuul:~$ lsb_release -sd || cat /etc/*release
    Ubuntu oneiric (development branch)
    Intel ® P4 Extreme Edition 3.4 (Gallatin) || DFI ® LanParty PRO875B rev B1

    Nope. Shows Ubuntu and not a lot else. Nice try though Vin. It's a "One Day" thing. As in, I'll figure it out "One Day"...

    *EDIT* Though, that has led me to do some quasi-hacking of how it does that so I can do some changes of my own...

    *EDIT2* Okay. Easy enough to put into Conky. Simple line to always get the release right no matter what upgrades you use.

    Code:
    ${exec lsb_release -si} ${exec lsb_release -sr} (${exec lsb_release -sc})
    Results in:

    Code:
    Xubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)
    On slower machines using an execi 3600 or so might help, but for the most part it works the way it is. You just need to remember to edit the /etc/lsb-release file to change your distributor and codename from time to time when you're using a Ubuntu derivative.

    Thanks Vin!

    I'm gonna rock this for a while...

    Code:

    ##################################
    ${voffset 20}${font DroidSans:bold:size=8.25}${color4}SYSTEM${offset 8}${color8}${voffset -2}${hr 2}${font}

    I dunno Vin. Truthfully, I think you're wasting your time putting the || cat /etc/*release part in. It works without it.

    Just... if you're using Xubuntu, Kubuntu, or Edubuntu... really anything that is a derivative of Ubuntu... doing it this way will probably result in it reporting Ubuntu as the system name instead of what it really is. If you want it accurate, you have to keep on your toes and edit the /etc/lsb_release file manually to update the Distributor and Code Name variables it contains. Then there's no need for the || cat section.

    Only with distros with lsb_release

    Very true! But, at the same time, this code won't work at all unless you've got it. You need another method if you don't have lsb_release. If you've got an idea on how to make that method work, I'm happy to test it! Finding a way that's universal would be very helpful.

    Kind of like the weather code we use not working without kaivalagi's weather script installed. This is just the lsb_release method of getting the system distributor,version, and codename as a variable object instead of hard-coding it every time.

    Got any ideas on other ways to do it, by chance?

    You could always hard-code it.

    That's how I handle the version number, in the header -- makes spacing easier.

    But, that's cheating. We're supposed to do everything the hard way...
