While I am trying to use the command lshw in CentOS 6 , I just came to know that it is not installed and not available in main repo.
To install lshw in your CentOS PC .
1. Open Link : http://pkgs.repoforge.org/lshw/?C=M;O=D
2. Copy download link of latest rpm package
3. Install with yum rather than using rpm , if you use rpm then it will fail due to missing dependencies. so better to use yum.
lshw - simple meaning is list hardware. It will list total information about hardware in your PC or Server.
It will give very big output , so you better choose the desired output by using grep.
For example I just want VGA information :
