Max has contributed so much it is now a collaboration! Hoorah!
This is my first ever program/script/whatever you want to call it. I learned very (very.) basic C and PHP from Lance. A literal one hour crash-course. Since I’ve looked at Perl for long enough (about 2 years?) I began to understand it, so I sat down and wrote this. Expect bugs, I’m brand new at this stuff.
I am not a programmer in any way, shape, or form. Ha. So I am allowed to have bugs! Anyway.
What does it do?
It displays system information, one at a time. Unlike most X-Chat system information scripts that show everything in one giant string of text, this one gives you the option to show JUST your CPU info, JUST hardrives, JUST operating system, and so on. In otherwords: It doesn’t OMG SPAM the IRC channel with a massive script.
It was built on and primarily for FreeBSD, but I’m pretty sure it’ll work on Linux systems as well. Sorry Windows users. OS X, you might be lucky. Give it a shot and let me know.
Where do I get it?

When I get my 64b system up, Ill put FreeBSD back on my 32b rig and we can develope the script further.
