I am having a devil of a time finding out what type of a machine my Linux server is. I know that the Manufactor is IBM, but uname provides no help.
$ uname -a
Linux chmaryhq 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jun 5 23:25:19 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Getting in touch with someone in the datacenter is almost impossible.

Thanks, TBone but "hwinfo" is not installed to this system.
Any other ideas?
Install it??? It should be available through repositories (you don't say which distro/version you're using), or you can download and compile from source....
Hi,
lshw is another command that will give quite a lot of detail about installed hardware. There is a graphical version as well.
This link might get you on the right track. http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat...86_64.rpm.html
But, first, I would try
yum list available lshw-\*
