System Information

[xlilo]

hi everybody!!

I am just doing my collage homework and part of it is asking me to get a screen shot of my sytem hardware thing, i know how to do this is windows (just go into control panel and double click on system, and then it tells me how much ram i have and my cpu and version of windows), but i dont have windows anymore i only have linux suse pro 9.1, can any one please tell me how i can see how much ram i have and the speed of my cpu etc in one window so i can take a screen shot of it?
thanks in advance, xlilo.

gkrellm gives a lot of information, both about usage and what you have. "free" from the command-line gives info about ram and swap. "uname -a" from the command-line gives info about your system and your processor. "lspci" gives the same info as "less /proc/pci" (hardware info) but then somewhat shorter. "less /proc/bus/usb" gives you info about all the devices that you've plugged in you USB ports. "dmesg" gives a lot of information about what the kernel has found and supports. There are probably many more - but I hope this is enough for you
SuSe probably has info in YaST as well.

PS: for a screenshot of only ram and cpu info in one window, just run the commands uname -a and free simultaneously in the same terminal.

Is this a for collage class (ie. making a collage poster) or a college class?
Just curious.

you could always install gdesklets or superkaramba and use the system info/monitor thingy applets that are for them.

Open a xterm in full screen and type

cat /proc/cpuinfo /proc/meminfo

No new software needed.

Seeing that your running SuSE, try typing 'siga' as root in a shell, should give you enough info to sink a ship.
