free -m can give you an idea of your physical memory. For processor you can get information from a file /proc/cpuinfo

If you ever wonder what the commands are in Linux to perform a specific function you can get a list of commands and a description of what they do with the following command typed in terminal mode:

Code:

apropos {key words}

For instance to find commands which give information about memory:

Code:

apropos memory

Once you find a command you wish to use if you need more information on how to use that command, type:

Code:

man {command}

For example:

Code:

man free

will give the manual page on the free command.
