Step by step command example below show how to check Linux hardware properties detail on Linux fedora system using lshw command. The example below use the lshw command without any option to display all hardware details and then the output from the lshw command is pipe to less command to display the output from lshw command on scrollable mode. The example below execute and tested on Linux Fedora 10 server. Please note that you may need to install lshw command tool in order to follow and get the output as show on this lshw command example.
Execute lshw command to check Linux hardware details:
