Linux Logo for SME 7.x and newer
Linux Logo shows a logo with some System Info.
It supports Linux (most architectures) and some non-Linux OSes.
See the author's homepage and Linux Logo article for more details.
Before starting
First, you need to add the extra repository epel.
See the wki details howto here
Installing linux_logo RPM
Install linux_logo with the followwing command:
yum install linux_logo --enablerepo=epel
Adding an SME custom logo
You now need to download the SME style logo with the following command:
cd /root wget "http://mirror.contribs.org/contribs/sgomez/contribs/linux_logo/sme.logo"
There are many ways and options to launch linux_logo... Here's one method!
Edit the file /root/.bash_profile and add the following at the end of the file:
# Launch linux_logo linux_logo -u -D /root/sme.logo
For more info, refer to the man page:
man linux_logo
Install SME logo for all users on SME8
yum install linux_logo --enablerepo=dag -y cd / wget "http://mirror.contribs.org/contribs/sgomez/contribs/linux_logo/sme.logo" -O sme.logo echo "linux_logo -u -D /sme.logo" >> /etc/profile
Make your own custom logo
There are are several sites like this one http://patorjk.com/software/taag/ or http://www.network-science.de/ascii/ where you can easily generate your own text logo in many shapes and sizes. Here is just one:
######## ## ## ### ## ## ######## ## ######## ## ## ## ## ## ### ### ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## #### #### ## ## ## ## ###### ### ## ## ## ### ## ######## ## ###### ## ## ## ######### ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ######## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ######## ########
One use of making a quick custom label is to make a logo of the name of the machine. Especially if you manage many servers, a bold machine name showing up when you login is a nice reminder as to where you are.
