The distribution you are using will be displayed as a large logo in ascii art. The number of installed packages, the desktop environment, the window manager and GTK theme will be displayed as well as CPU and RAM info. This also shows the kernel version and uptime. Very useful program to have on your computer.

This is another way to count all installed packages.
