Show time and date when you installed your OS.

$ ls -lct /etc | tail -1 | awk '{print $6, $7}'

Great hack! But if you know what you really want,
it can be much simpler on Linux:

   stat --format="%Y" /etc/fedora-release
   # Works for Fedora Linux

   stat --format="%Y" /etc/slackware-version
   # Works on Slackware Linux

   stat --format="%Y" /etc/debian-release
   # Works on Debian Linux

   stat --format="%Y" /etc/lsb-release
   # Works on *ubuntu and Linux Mint

By this, expensive ls and awk commands could
be avoided.

Keep up the good work!
