How to determine hardware?
You can easily find this most of this information out with the dmidecode command:
sudo dmidecode -q
It may be a little verbose though. To find out information about a specific device, you can use the -t
type argument. More information on that is here, http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/how-to-get-hardware-information-on-linux-using-dmidecode-command/
Another option would be to use lshw
sudo lshw
To find out the disk usage of your hard drive, you can use the df command:
sudo df -h
This command will tell you about your hardware (including the specific components you've listed):
sudo lshw
It's possible to run lshw
without sudo
(i.e., not as root
) but it may not give as complete or accurate information.
You can run lshw
with the -C
flag and an argument, to get information about a specific class of hardware. See man lshw
for details.
