Is there a way that I can find out hardware info specfics. Like what kinda of ram do i have DDR or whatever, what interface are my devices using IDE SCSI ect ....... ??

Do you not know what you have or are you just wondering if Suse will tell you?

If you dont know what you have, the easiest way is to open the case or watch your BIOS when the PC boots up.

If you want Suse to tell you try:

dmesg | more

haven't used suse in a while, but all that info should be found somewhere within yast

SUSE is Linux, so you can navigate through the /proc directory. You do not need GUI. If you want to find out what type of memory you have, setup up lmsensors. If the memory modules has EEPROM chips, lmsensors will look up the information in them and other pieces of information that the memory manufactures added from the factory.

oh, i know, i understand that. there is a reason that yast is there though. just giving him an alternate way to find something in case he'd rather. no harm in that
