Find Hardware (motherboard) and OS Information

Sysinfo

Installation
sudo apt-get install sysinfo
After installed, run the program from
Applications -> System Tools -> Sysinfo
On my computer, After selecting System, Sysinfo just crashes and closes itself.


Hardinfo

Installation
sudo apt-get install hardinfo
After installed, run the program from
Applications -> System Tools -> System Profiler and Benchmark
It seems better than Sysinfo and looks similar to Windows Device Manager


Hwinfo

Installation
sudo apt-get install hwinfo
After installed, run the program from the command line:-
hwinfo
It's a console application without GUI.

Discover

Installation
sudo apt-get install discover
After installed, run the program from the command line:-
discover
It's also a console application without GUI. Hwinfo provides more info than Discover.
