hardware lister is pretty good and has an optional GUI.

Also you can get information from some system commands like dmesg, free, dmidecode, cat /proc/cpuinfo, lspci, smartctl -a /dev/

There are others, but I am drawing a blank at the moment.

Shalom,

You might try revealing to us what Linux distribution you are using. This is not the RH Linux forums. Please share.

RH answer:

hwbrowser

This gui lets you cruise through the hardware.

You can look under /proc if you like.

For example:

javelin:/proc # cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 8
model name : Pentium III (Coppermine)
stepping : 6
cpu MHz : 1002.401
cache size : 256 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 2
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse
bogomips : 2006.87

There's a whole bunch of other stuff you can look at. You can also use:

javelin:/proc # lspci |more
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge (rev 03)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX AGP bridge (rev 03)
00:07.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ISA (rev 02)
00:07.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01)
00:07.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB (rev 01)
00:07.3 Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 02)
00:09.0 Multimedia video controller: 3Dfx Interactive, Inc. Voodoo 2 (rev 02)
00:0a.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AHA-2940U/UW/D / AIC-7881U
00:0c.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 24)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G200 AGP (rev 01)

and also (under SuSE Linux) you have hwinfo.

You can see some of this from the desktop - under SuSE there are menu items that will pull up some of this info.

Not sure if there is a GUI out there that will pull it all together - I'm sure that someone out there has written something....

Hi,

As these are the forums for Linux on HP systems, then those systems should/may have the systems management homepage installed.

Point your browser at https://:2381 and you'll get a good breakdown of the machine...

Cheers,
