fdisk
Fdisk is a utility to modify partitions on hard drives, and can be used to list out the partition information as well.

mount
The mount is used to mount/unmount and view mounted file systems.

free - Check RAM
Check the amount of used, free and total amount of RAM on system with the free command.
$ free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 7975 5865 2110 0 24 622 -/+ buffers/cache: 5218 2757 Swap: 1951 921 1030
14. dmidecode
The dmidecode command is different from all other commands. It extracts hardware information by reading data from the SMBOIS data structures (also called DMI tables).
# display information about the processor/cpu $ sudo dmidecode -t processor # memory/ram information $ sudo dmidecode -t memory # bios details $ sudo dmidecode -t bios
Check out the man page for more details.
15. /proc files
Many of the virtual files in the /proc directory contain information about hardware and configurations. Here are some of them
CPU/Memory information
# cpu information $ cat /proc/cpuinfo # memory information $ cat /proc/meminfo
Linux/kernel information
$ cat /proc/version Linux version 3.11.0-12-generic (buildd@allspice) (gcc version 4.8.1 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.8.1-10ubuntu7) ) #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 9 16:20:46 UTC 2013

16. hdparm
The hdparm command gets information about sata devices like hard disks.
$ sudo hdparm -i /dev/sda /dev/sda: Model=ST3500418AS, FwRev=CC38, SerialNo=9VMJXV1N Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs RotSpdTol>.5% } RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=4 BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=16384kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=16 CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=976773168 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120} PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 udma5 *udma6 AdvancedPM=no WriteCache=enabled Drive conforms to: unknown: ATA/ATAPI-4,5,6,7 * signifies the current active mode
