.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBinxi\fR is a command line system information script built for for console
-and IRC. It is also used for forum technical support, as a debugging tool,
-to quickly ascertain user system configuration and hardware. inxi shows
-system hardware, CPU, drivers, Xorg, Desktop, Kernel, GCC version(s), Processes,
-RAM usage, and a wide variety of other useful information.

-\fBinxi\fR output varies between CLI and IRC, with some default filters and
-color options applied to IRC use. Script colors can be turned off if desired
-with \fB\-c 0\fR, or changed using the \fB\-c\fR color options listed in the
-OPTIONS section below.

-Further thanks to the various inxi package maintainers, distro support people,
-forum moderators, and in particular, sys admins with their particular issues,
-which almost always help make inxi better, and any others who contribute ideas,
-suggestions, and patches.
+Siduction forum members, who have helped get some features working by providing
+a large number of datasets that have revealed possible variations, particularly for the
+RAM \fB\-m\fR option.
-Without a wide range of diverse Linux kernel based Free Desktop systems to test
-on, we could never have gotten inxi to be as reliable and solid as it's turning
-out to be.
+AntiX users and admins, who have helped greatly with testing and debugging,
+particularly for the 3.0.0 release.
-And of course, big thanks locsmif, who figured out a lot of the core methods,
-logic, and tricks used in inxi.
+ArcherSeven (Max), Brett Bohnenkamper (aka KittyKatt), and Iotaka, who always
+manage to find the weirdest or most extreme hardware and setups that help make
+inxi much more robust.
-This Man page was originally created by Gordon Spencer (aka aus9) and is
-maintained by Harald Hope (aka h2 or TechAdmin).
+For the vastly underrated skill of output error/glitch catching, Pete Haddow. His
+patience and focus in going through inxi repeatedly to find errors and inconsistencies
+is much appreciated.
