this should work with both debian and ubuntu versions but has some hard coded values at least for the sensor temp in the cubietruck
upload everything from the archive to the /etc/ folder, make the files inside executable (chmod +x) - the files are taken from https://nickcharlton.net/posts/debian-ubuntu-dynamic-motd.htmlbut 10-sysinfo was updated with more information
finally disable default motd by editing the bash.bashrc files (remove/delete) this lines
if [ -f /etc/bash.bashrc.custom ]; then
. /etc/bash.bashrc.custom
fi
after this with every new login you should see the new motd
update-motd.d.zip
