Detailed hardware information for Linux #

"lshw (Hardware Lister) is a small tool to provide detailed information on the hardware configuration of the machine. It can report exact memory configuration, firmware version, mainboard configuration, CPU version and speed, cache configuration, bus speed, etc. on DMI-capable x86 or EFI (IA-64) systems and on some PowerPC machines."

Download and install for Ubuntu (or grab the source): sudo apt-get install lshw
Help (more detailed man page also exists): lshw -help
Some interesting options:
- Abbreviated output: sudo lshw -short
- Hide serial numbers, IP addresses, etc: sudo lshw -sanitize
- Output as HTML: sudo lshw -html
