Tried to search but can't find anything. Is there an unix equivalent to right clicking / properties on My Computer to see things like memory, cpu speed etc ?

Saying 'Unix' is a bit too broad as there are many Unix based operating systems. The procedure will be different for Linux, Solaris, HPUX, AIX, etc. – Andre Miller Oct 24 '09 at 9:36

Many current distributions have this packages (lshw) available for installation without needing to build from source. – Charles Duffy Oct 24 '09 at 15:53
Its a nice tool but you might want to mention that it is Linux specific. – Robert Gamble Oct 24 '09 at 16:07

DMIDECODE should work on most *nix systems, although it takes some translating. There's also BIOSDECODE in the same package.

This is a great utility. It's like opening the box and peeking inside without the down time. – David Oct 25 '09 at 3:31

On Linux, such information can be found in /proc/meminfo and /proc/cpuinfo. It will be different on different systems.

The following link has one code which get all the info for a server/system, but it works with RHEL/Fedora/Suse/Ubuntu. I havn't used it on any of the unix boxes so please try it out and let us know. Also what its output looks like on your system.
