What hardware is in there?

You are helping out friends with a linux installation? You just forgot what hardware you used to build your server out of spare parts?
I found the lshw command to be a quick help: sudo lshw -html > ~/hw.html
Now, opening the created file to be located in your home directory will show all kind of hardware details, like how much memory was installed, what disks, what processor and motherboard... So no need to get the screwdriver.
