Anyone know how to get the specifications of a UNIX machine?

Like in windows/system!

You can get some information on UNIX sysems with the uname command...use the following switches as desired...

Code:

uname -m 'Hardware Type

uname -n 'Network Host Name

uname -r 'OS Release

uname -s 'OS Name

uname -v 'OS Version

uname -a 'All of the above

Ah! Hardware type only gives you the CPU type...I'll investigate how to find RAM...

Code:

free -m 'Gives memory info in Megabytes

The "superprobe" command gives information on chipsets etc, but it doesn't work on the Linux system at college.

If you are running X or Linux, you can find it out in the control panel.
