Command to show OS and system specs?


I'm looking to find the OS and system specs of a production server at work. Are there commands I can use through SSH to get this information?

Was mislead ... uname -a just displays couple of useful information regarding the kernel ... kernel modules might be of interest in your case maybe? (network cards, etc)
lsmod

Look in your /proc directory. Usually you can do like:

cat /proc/filesystem
cat /proc/cpuinfo
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/ioports
cat /proc/meminfo

and etc.. to view system info on particular system specs and stuff.

uname -a is only going to give the OS, Host name, kernel version ... etc.
