I tried wget with this but of no help. It just makes a particular file in jpeg format but on opening the same it says corrupted. Although I can edit the jpeg as an HTML file.

Code:
wget "http://www.google.com" -O /tmp/abc.png

Can someone please help me on this?

IMHO, using wget on a website is not the same as getting a screen shot. The best you can do, as far as I know, is to get all of the images, html, etc using wget -m. It is probably analogous to using internet explorer to save the website. Hence you will have a directory of all of the files that are downloaded with the site. You can also try curl, but it probably works the same way.

So is there any other way to capture the SS via terminal?

You could have just copy-pasted instead of making a screenshot. I think you censored the bit I needed to know anyway. You also forgot cat /etc/release

You're in a terminal. There's no screen to shot.

When you download a web page you get an *.html file, not *.png. You would have to display the *.html in a browser to see it as an image, and then take a screenshot of that image...

...unless you know of or can write an application that converts *.html to *.png?
Like this one maybe...
