Finding the system information in Linux

These days am using Fedora more than Windows so trying to learn more about that. For finding out the details related to your system, you can use the following commands.

First login in to the root account.

Then, you can run these commands:

% /usr/sbin/dmidecode -t baseboard


This will give details of the motherboard


% /usr/sbin/dmidecode -t processor


This will dump the information about the processor.

Other keywords which are available which can be used as options for ‘t’ are

1. bios
2. system
3. chassis
4. memory
5. cache
6. connector
7. slot

A easy method to find all the information abuot your cpu, you can execute this command:

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

Hope this will be helpful.
