Application / command needed to check hardware components.
 
What command line / application should I use (in Slackware, of course) to see all my hardware specifications (things such as microprocessor; memory,etc)?

Thanks,

lspci will show pci devices.

lspci, lsusb. Also lshal.

And check also /proc/cpuinfo, /proc/bus/input, /proc/bus/ide and other contents of /proc directory.

Code:

# lshw
# dmidecode

You will have to install 'lshw', but it gives you lots of useful info.

I second building and installing lshw. There is a build script at slackbuilds.org. Be sure to build with the GUI option.

Another option is hardinfo, also available at slackbuilds.org.

If you are using KDE, try the native KInfoCenter (in the System menu).

lshw seems like a nice app. I dont see any advantage in the GUI though. The CLI version prints the exact same info.

Thanks for your advices. I've installed both, lshw and hardinfo. Both are very useful tools that show what I needed.

Thank again,
