[Durham] meeting tomorrow / advice on PXE utility please?

[Richard Patterson]

Yes, meeting is tomorrow... Apologies for lack of reminder...

What kind of basic info are you after? Seems lshw might be too detailed...

Might be able to hand craft a script to pull the info from /proc/cpuinfo, /proc/meminfo

Regards

Richard
