Hinv tool for Linux: inxi
=========================
If you ever used one of the Silicon Graphics computers then you
probably know the "hinv" tool (the "Hardware Inventory"). It is a
command-line tool which lists hardware configuration of the computer.
I have been searching for something similar for the Linux. Once there was
a "hinv" clone but it seems to be no longer developed.
Today I found that my Fedora includes something called "inxi". It is a
Perl script which makes a nice list on my hardware configuration (the
command was "inxi -b -c 0"):
It has some more parameters to customise its output. It seems to be
very nice when one needs to show its setup to others (when asking for
help at forums or IRC channels, for example).
