'cat /proc/cpuinfo' and 'uname' are the two best suggestions I've heard,
but in regards to memory, 'cat /proc/meminfo' while the best, I'm
surprised I've yet to hear "free". 'free' normally report in KB,
whereas 'free -m' will report in MB, as usual, check 'man free'.
$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 515956 368960 146996 0 21660 187544
-/+ buffers/cache: 159756 356200
Swap: 1004052 220 1003832
$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 503 365 137 0 21 183
-/+ buffers/cache: 161 342
Swap: 980 0 980
This is on a machine w/ 512MB RAM.
