sar substitute for Linux?

sysctl does not really provide the following information
that psrinfo does:

	Status of processor 0 as of: 04/19/01 14:17:58
	  Processor has been on-line since 12/28/00 12:38:55.
	  The sparc processor operates at 400 MHz,
	        and has a sparc floating point processor.
	Status of processor 1 as of: 04/19/01 14:17:58
	  Processor has been on-line since 12/28/00 12:38:56.
	  The sparc processor operates at 400 MHz,
	        and has a sparc floating point processor.
	Status of processor 2 as of: 04/19/01 14:17:58
	  Processor has been on-line since 12/28/00 12:38:56.
	  The sparc processor operates at 400 MHz,
      	  and has a sparc floating point processor.
	Status of processor 3 as of: 04/19/01 14:17:58
	  Processor has been on-line since 12/28/00 12:38:56.
	  The sparc processor operates at 400 MHz,
	        and has a sparc floating point processor.

and /proc does not really provide this info either.

sar does exist on my Red Hat 7.0 box.

sysctl exists in both Red Hat 6.2 and 7.X

If all else fails, you can just query /proc.
