From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It would be cool if it also showed the speed and the current speed

that would be awesome but i can't seem to get ram speed from /proc/meminfo or other files (i tried to look files in /sys and other directories for the ram speed) since they aren't there so i dont think i can really add that.. i tried to look online too but they seem to use lshw/dmidecode which i don't really wanna use
