This PC

This is a little Python app that I am working on for users that don't use Conky and don't know how to find out whats in there computer. It will be useless to you guys but is a programming exercise for me anyway. Besides, it will look cool in a transparent terminal when I am done with it.

This is nice! Do you think you could add a few main infos ? (GPU, sound card, for instance ?)

As long as I can find a terminal command for it. Like putting "uname -r" in a terminal and getting the kernel version for linux. I can put in wifi card too if that would help new users any.

If they need a lot of info then they should install hardinfo from the repos but I thought this would be small and cool looking.

Hi,

A few which we always need to help people better on forums:

$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

$ lspci | grep Ethernet
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)

$ lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

Someone might find ideas to make the output shorter, keeping only the main information (ie : "Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7" for Audio).
