Sys Specs

[noelw]

Hi all. I have forgotten what to type into the terminal to get sys specs. With age comes memory loss. Thanks

G'day Noel. For your own records, you can use

inxi -Fxs

and save the content to a text file for future reference. If you any external drives plugged in, it will give you those as well.

For sharing here or elsewhere, use slightly different

inxi -Fxz

as the z option will filter out personal information such as MAC addresses, serial numbers and so on.

Cheers

Wizard

Personally I like lshw as its easier for my old brain to remember (list hardware).

If it outputs too much, you can specify classes (-C display for example & it'll output details of my two display cards), but I usually just page & search using old vi/POSIX search features.

There's a list of useful programs for system info at post #55 here:
