About

sysinfo.pl is a perl script that shows some interesting info about the system it's running on.
The script was written by a friend of mine, David Rudie aka dj.

As time went on bugs were discovered and feature requests received and I've attempted to address these with my version.

The last version dj released is 281 which combined our changes up to that point.
