I am total noob in Linux. I wanna know what is the equivalent of "My Computer" in Ubuntu 11.04. I want to check my computer specs such as Processor Speed, Memory, and etc.
Whenever I check properties in Home Folder it only gives me the HD capacity. I also tried looking at System Settings but I can't find it there. Please help.
Hit Super (Start button in windows) , Type and and open
System Monitor
.For full details system information use HardInfo : Click to install.
HardInfo can display information about both your system's hardware and operating system.
for command line solutions, you can use the command lshw.
Install it if needed:
then run something like
then check the html file.
Just
lshw | less
Comment : lshw-> ls(list) hw(hardware)
should give you what you need. On ec2 14.04 I found it pre installed so I am going to assume its part of Ubuntu 14.04 package now and you do not need to exclusively install it
WEB UPD8 has a detail guide on this topic.

If you cannot install lshw, you can try the following:
inxi

command below will show you all the possible system and hardware information on Linux:run
sudo lshw -html > server_specs.html
the html result is well structured and easy to find information.also you can use
sudo lshw -C {required_type}
to see result for your required specification. for examplesudo lshw -C memory
A user on the Ubuntu Forums (MAFoElffen) has created a
system-info
script for the official Ubuntu Forums.This script uses various system commands (such as
lscpu
,hwinfo
,lspci
,lsblk
etc.) to generate a detailed report of all relevant information.The script can be installed and run by going to the directory where you want to install the script, and then run the following:
This will download the script, make it executable, and then run it.
From the official description on the Github page:
Running this script is advised before diagnosing system issue on the Ubuntu Forum, and it could also find a similar use here.
Go to System Settings. Then Go to Details.
