Hardware Detection under Linux [For Newbies]
I installed Linux (RedHat) first time in 1996. Naturally I was a Microsoft Windows user then and didn't have much knowledge about Hardware. Without GUI I was just like a Computer Illiterate. As a Newbie I had to face a huge problem to detect Hardware under Linux because then I was not familiar with Linux commands. I had to blindly depend on kudzu. Now a days Fedora, Knoppix use state_of_the_art Hardware detection as well as support very good GUI application to retrieve the Hardware information of the system. But This superior technologies also hide the actual commands on which these detection procedures are based on; from the users. Here I have tried to provide some information, Linux commands based on which a newbie can easily collect information of its Hardware without firing up any GUI tool.
