What is a quick ssh command to know the system info/configuration

Question

Ive been googling for quite some while and couldn't find it! I need to know the specs of our hosting server system. And also this command will be quite useful in the future. Thanks

Solution

there are various tools you can use depending on the OS distribution. eg uname -a, lspci, lshw , dmesg, biosdecode etc .

Yea, but not quite. Anything that gives more info? This is the output: Linux mail.xxxxxxx.com 2.4.27-grsec.EIS1 #2 Tue Aug 24 21:41:55 CDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Thats probably enough to know what packages you need to install based on system requirements. I'm not sure. But thanks for your suggestion.
