System Status

Hi peepz,

I was just wondering... whats the command in the shell to see your computer system status? Hmmm... other words, I wanna see what hardware I have on my system.

I hope someone can tell me real quick.

Thanks,
Spyiish

does lspci (as root) give you enough info?

Hmm...not really...

I wanna know like the system processor and stuff. You know how in windows, you right click my computer then properties, then under general u can see your system is P4 3.0Ghz etc etc. I wanna see it from Linux. Im not sure whether u can do it with Linux.

Try running this command:

Code:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

I think that's what you're looking for.

Hi,

yes it is similar to that. But I cant seem to find how much RAM I got. It listed all the details I wanted except for the RAM. Wierd, is there another command for it?

Thanks,

To get details of the installed memory and how much is 'free' type:

Code:

free

in a terminal window... that's it.

or go K->System->Info Center in the menu (if you're using KDE that is!), and select the memory page.
