Ubuntu / Linux news and application reviews.

inxi is a very small command line tool (bash script) which allows you to see all sorts of information about your Linux computer. The information inxi can give you ranges from CPU info, graphic card, sound card, ip and so on (a lot of info!) and you can also choose the color scheme.

Take a look at this screenshot to see a sample of what inxi can do:

In Ubuntu, inxi can be installed in two ways:
1. .deb package. Run the following commands:
