Take a look into lspci, lshw, lscpu and dmidecode.

  • Debian and Ubuntu (perhaps others — it's in the util-linux package) also have lscpu which gives you lots of information about your CPU(s) and the way they're interrelated. – Alexios Mar 09 '12 at 12:18
  • @Alexios Interesting. Will add on my answer. – Renan Mar 09 '12 at 12:33

Here is a little collection of the basic command-line utilities for this task.

Especially lshw and lspci are very useful. Occasionally dmidecode could carry additional information - I never ever had to use it, although.

As far as I know, report-hw is extremely useful in Debian-based systems (not tested).

biosdevname gives you the BIOS-given name of a device. It is needed rarely, but in some scenarios it could save life.

You didn't ask, but hdparm and sdparm are useful for harddisks and solid state drives, respectively. smartctl is for SMART-operations.

I like to add lsusb and lsdev as well, but probably one of the best hints is:

Try cfg2html, this is a script that calls all other scripts to give you an overview about your system.
