    I prefer hardinfo. It’s in the repos too & there’s a lot more to it than sysinfo. Just open a terminal & type “sudo apt-get install hardinfo” then after it’s install just type “hardinfo” to run it.

    lswh is much more powerful and it’s already installed.

  3. Tom says:

    When I selected System with my mouse – sysinfo exited? And if I set Preferences to start with System – it does not launch from System Tools or launchs and then immediately exits.

    No Thank you – very much! I’ll go with lshw.

  4. Andriy says:

    It requires Mono 🙁

  5. Hardinfo is quite nicely made. I also like hlsw-gtk as it is really thorough on the information it shows

  6. zob says:

    @Tom. Yeah. It’s a known bug. Sysinfo crashes when you select System. Could have been mentioned in the article or isn’t it affecting all 10.10 systems?

  8. kanna says:

    ok praveenp if you are so good in ubuntu y you are not puting a good Article so that we can learn
    and how many you posted article in ubuntu geetk can you tell me

  9. rMatey180 says:

    Sheesh!!! It’s lshw, and not lswh. And Sysinfo works under 10.04 with the ‘system’ tab. That’s just one of the reasons I moved back – to many things not working. And I even have Hardinfo installed. Hardinfo (or System Profiler and Benchmark) is a well presented GUI.

  10. praveenp says:

    @Kanna, I wonder why I got a mail with same content from Allu John 🙂

    I dont wish to write any article until I got some useful and unpublished informations. But that is no reason to make me suffer bad articles.

  12. ratnesh says:

    i want full information about my system. Example how many time my system get formatted. plz tell me what is the procedure

  13. zob says:

    @ratnesh.
    I don’t understand. If you format your system, you would expect everything to be deleted, including any information of prior installs of windows or linux…
