</div>Most of my systems are debian, and I hadn't heard of lshw until I saw<br>
it mentioned here. I had used lsusb, lspci, ... to get similar<br>
information. I logged into one of my systems, and tried lshw, and it<br>
wasn't found, but just did a "sudo apt-get install lshw" installed it,<br>
and I must say, it looks like a handy tool! You might try something<br>
similar.<br>
