How to Query the Hardware? RH-EW


Howdy all,

kind of an odd question for an odd circumstance. I have inherrited an IBM xServer running RH Enterprise Workstation. Problem: I'm in Oregon and the station is in Texas. Is there a way to get the server to spill its guts to me and tell me what hardware it is composed of?

thanks,

phardin

if it's not installed it's apart of the kernel-utils rpm.
