You probably have lspci.If not: aptitude install pciutils I also like hwinfo. aptitude install hwinfo But hwinfo is pretty verbose so you might want to redirect its output to a file so you can browse or search through it. At the very least pipe the command through a pager. A lot of your system's hardware information can be gotten simply by using dmesg or going through a log file. /var/log/syslog and kern.log come to mind. I have a Pentium 3 here as well. Though I cannot say it is very fast. http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/2250/wedoct27bootchart.png Stock it took 21 seconds with some system tuning I got the time down a bit. My i3 comes up in 5.6 seconds with no real tuning done to it. Other performance differences are similar P3 over an hour to build a kernel i3 15 minutes. Once I get further along with the project I am using my P3 for I'll replace it with an atom box as I cannot reduce system latency below 24500 ns on the P3 atoms typically have latencies of 6000 ns or better. I actually worked on my P3 earlier today. I made a half height video adapter bracket for it out of a spare full height one. But I'll file that story another day. Get it, file? ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
