Ubuntu Hardware Info without a GUI

Getting hardware info from Linux, especially without a graphical manager, looked like an insurmountable task. But after some digging I came across this article about hwinfo.

With a simple (in Ubuntu at least) sudo apt-get install hwinfo you can get a quick view on your system hardware without having to dig through manuals or opening the case. Tie hwinfo with using free -m or free -mt and you have just about all you need.
