Under /proc directory you get useful info. about the hardware.

Ex:
cat /proc/mem
cat /proc/cpu

From the manpage of lspci:

"lspci is a utility for displaying information about all PCI buses in the system and all devices connected to them."

so try:
1) lspci
2) lspci -vx #more verbose
3) cat /proc/meminfo
4) cat /proc/cpuinfo

lspci is part of pciutils package

1) ok for previous answers.
2) if you have kde look at
ksysguard
kcontrol
which retrieve infos from /proc fs.

3) #man dmesg

pls. search in forum. This has already been discussed early.

Peace, R.

The gnome X interface has a reasonable hardware browser. It will show you what it sees and give you status on this box.

Thats a good start. HP-UX ioscan has yet to be ported to this platform. Too bad.

- RH Linux has hwbrowser

- there is lshw (Hardware Lister) http://ezix.sourceforge.net/software/lshw.html (a small tool to provide detailed informaton on the hardware configuration of the machine)

I think you can also use the cfg2html utility, http://come.to/cfg2html. It gives you nice reports formated in html.

I use is for Linux and HP-UX.
