Getting Hardware Info in Linux

There are many ways to view the hardware configuration of the Linux system. Bulk of these ways derive information from the /proc directory
examples below

cat /proc/cpuinfo
cat /proc/meminfo

But if you want a detailed description of the hardware components, then this is the better way. It also gives the voltage of the CPU, type of RAM, serial number of the mother board, etc. check it yourself.
