lshw is a small tool to extract detailed information on the hardware |
8 |
configuration of the machine. It can report exact memory configuration, |
9 |
firmware version, mainboard configuration, CPU version and speed, cache |
10 |
configuration, bus speed, etc. on DMI-capable x86 or IA-64 systems and |
11 |
on some PowerPC machines (PowerMac G4 is known to work). |
12 |
|
13 |
It currently supports DMI (x86 and IA-64 only), OpenFirmware device |
14 |
tree (PowerPC only), PCI/AGP, CPUID (x86), IDE/ATA/ATAPI, PCMCIA (only |
15 |
tested on x86), SCSI and USB. |

How much am I supposed to trim from the quoted article??? |
