Topic: How about adding 'hardinfo' to #!

hey y'all,

Just wanted to share this little tool with you all: hardinfo

It is a system / hardware info tool and it's already in the repos,  light on dependencies and lightweight. It can also create reports (HTML).
In my humble opinion it would do great as a standard app of #!.

Let me know what you think and / or if you have better alternatives!

IMO, I like inxi better:

It doesn't show as much information as hardinfo, but its lighter and is actively developed.

Include both in the Standard version and only have inxi for the Lite version.

No system info included but I just use lshw for hardware info - installed by default with no dependencies. smile

Use option -html to see the output in your web browser.

sudo lshw -html > ~/Desktop/hardware.html
