Linux List Hardware

It's not always easy to get Linux to show the hardware in your PC, especially in GUI form. However, there is a shell command which can be used, which is "lshw". It has to be used as root.

Examples:
  1. "sudo lshw -C network" <-- to see network interfaces
  2. "sudo lshw -C cpu" <-- to see CPUs
  3. "sudo lshw -short" <-- see short list of hardware in the system
