Hi!

I'd like to know how to get the hardware informations of a computer (RAM, Processor etc) using the command line.

Thank you.

You seem to run Ubuntu, just install lshw and run it with sudo, all information in one place and it has some nice options, like generating a HTML page with the results.

or install "inxi" and run in a terminal the command "inxi -fo -c0 > inxi.txt"
you will have a beautiful summary of the PC.

as root you can run

Code:

# dmidecode > DMI

then just vi the DMI file you created to see a lot of detail on the system. I use that in combination with lshw and lspci, you can also use lsusb to isolate just your USB devices.

Thank you for all the answers. It was for an old Suse computer.
