Just added (for helpful reasons) if you are asked or feel the need to post information on your system you may want to consider using this BASH script:

#/bin/sh

#simple script to give a summary of system information

# Author:
# http://www.pixelbeat.org/
# Notes:
# Unless you run as root, disk info can't be shown
# Changes:
# V0.1, 16 Nov 2005, Initial release
# V0.s, 22 Oct 2007, Tweak to ensure cdrom info shown.
# Comment out partition info as a bit noisy.

find_sbin_cmd() {
for base in / /usr/ /usr/local; do
if [ -e $base/sbin/$1 ] then
echo $base/sbin/$1
exit
fi
done
}
FDISK=`which fdisk 2>/dev/null`
LSUSB=`which lsusb 2>/dev/null`
LSPCI=`which lspci 2>/dev/null`
[ -z "$FDISK" ] && FDISK=`find_sbin_cmd fdisk`
[ -z "$LSUSB" ] && LSUSB=`find_sbin_cmd lsusb`
[ -z "$LSPCI" ] && LSPCI=`find_sbin_cmd lspci`

echo "============= Drives ============="

while read disk; do

echo "============= MEM ============="

MiB=`expr $KiB / 1024`
#note various mem not accounted for, so round to appropriate size
#on my 384MiB system over 8MiB was unaccounted for
#on my 1024MiB system over 20MiB was unaccounted for so round to next highest power of 2
round=32
echo "`expr ( ( $MiB / $round ) + 1 ) * $round` MiB"

echo "============= PCI ============="
$LSPCI -tv

echo "============= USB ============="
$LSUSB

This script when ran as root prints the following
