lshw | less will show you a more or less verbose information about your motherboard, BIOS and PCI devices - the most useful part of the above is the motherboard one. If you want to see which hardware is installed on the machine, there is a couple of commands which can do it. Two last are somewhat similar in purpose to sidebars in Microsoft' OSes, but are much more ascetic. If you want to check temperature, voltage or such, look at lm-sensors package ( sensors command in the console).įor latter case, there are also a lot of GUIs: ksensors, torsmo, applets for almost all desktop environments, gkrellm, conky. Less /proc/cpuinfo maybe? It's not that fancy, but still very useful.
