Hello All

No question here just a command new to me but mabey everyone else knows it. Good thing I wrote it down cause I can not find the website I got it from. I used it on Ubuntu 10 and it saved me having to take the box apart. Most of the unix's I am familiar with use hinv for hardware inventory I had never used linux "lshw" it does about the same thing. It worked on ubuntu and the article said it also worked on CentOS but I just tried on Cent and it is not available on the Cent system I have access to. Anyway if you need to check hardware and don't have a screwdriver try it!

There is a gui front end for it. You should be able to find it for your distro with the package manager.

On Centos (which version btw ?) try

Thanks for all the replies. Finding the command solved my problem just wanted to share since it was new to me!

lshw is not a standard command of the shell, it is an "third party" application. If it is not installed on your CentOS (or any other distribution) system then just install it, most distributions have it available in their repositories.
