So I'm sitting here bored out of my gourd when I get to thinking that Windows has a bunch of very nice system info type programs that will tell you more than you ever needed to know about your computer. I'm not aware of a
really good program for Linux. Then my idle mind started wondering just how much system info I could squeeze out of my Linux box with command line tools. Not being a completely rounded Linux guru I came up with this:
Code:
System Information gleaned from Linux utilities - Computer Johnbonham

No mainboard info, no mouse info, no firewire info, no optical drive info. How could I get the missing info? The tools I used are lspci, lsusb and cat/proc/whatever-looked-interesting-when-I-did-an-ls-of-the-proc-folder.
