Hello All,

I work at a non-profit where we give poor kids free computers with Edubuntu installed, our setup is a PXE boot server which gives a GRUB with tools, and also the option to select the Edubuntu iso.

I want to create a simple bash shell script which I can include in the GRUB and in which the volunteers can get all the info they need on the PC's details, such as RAM, Cpu speed, System Tag, etc.

I'm fairly new at scripting, can anyone point me into the right direction? thanks in advance

What do you mean by "system tag"?

Since this is Linux:

cat /proc/meminfo
cat /proc/cpuinfo
lspci
lsusb
dmidecode # maybe

Awesome! from there I can just grep the arguments I need.

By system tag I mean the Computers Serial code, not the MAC. Reason being is whenever we get these old computers, the companies that we get them from want us to write down each serial number or also referred as Asset Tag and then my company want track track each computer.

Yes, but is that actually stored inside the computer anywhere? If not, you're going to have a hard time retrieving it...

Its inside the bios under Service/Asset Tag
