DietPi banner “nice to have”

[Falconcrest]

Hi,

the displays from the dietpi banner when logging in via ssh are very informative.
I would welcome it as a “nice to have” if there could also be a selection for displaying the OS and the kernel.
Perhaps there will be an opportunity to integrate this at some point.
Of course you can overload dietpi-banner, but there is the possibility to choose.

You could use option 10 and add something like

echo "Kernel: $(uname -r), OS Release: $(cat /etc/debian_version)"

Exactly!
Ok, that would work if I hadn’t already filled it with the weather information for my home town.
Perhaps there will be an opportunity to add a further selection.
