securitybreach Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Like for every thing, there are plenty of commands to check information about the hardware of your linux system. Some commands report only specific hardware components like cpu or memory while the rest cover multiple hardware units.This post takes a quick look at some of the most commonly used commands to check information and configuration details about various hardware peripherals and devices. The list includes lscpu, hwinfo, lshw, dmidecode, lspci etc. http://www.binarytides.com/linux-commands-hardware-info/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LilBambi Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Definitely! And hwinfo with or without --short I don't seem to have in Debian Wheezy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrat Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Definitely! And hwinfo with or without --short I don't seem to have in Debian Wheezy... It's available in Wheezy, maybe not installed by default - https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=hwinfo&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all inxi is great, and the developer, h2, has recently released updates. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 No hwinfo in Slack either. It's available as a SlackBuild, though. http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/system/hwinfo/?search=hwinfo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abarbarian Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Very neat tool. Now if only I could sort out the fonts in xterm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Wow, that hurts my eyes trying to look at that. How do you even look at that without your head hurting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturnian Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I love inxi as well Me, too. By the way, MX-14 (the "special edition" of antiX, I guess they're calling it) includes inxi by default. I'm mainly using MX-14 for live sessions, from a flash drive, and for my purposes, having that tool available in the live session is very convenient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

securitybreach Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Makes mine hurt too, that is why I have to sort it out. Perhaps another terminal with a transparent of dark background with some decent fonts. I am partial to urxvt (rxvt-unicode) and will post my configs if you desire.
