[Discuss] Getting OS/HW details?



    Noah Friedman <friedman aaat splode dawt com> maintains a shell
script that is basically GNU autoconf's hosttype detection logic,
standalone.  It doesn't need root, but in some obscure situations may
require a C compiler.

    It is certainly thermonuclear overkill for your situation, but will
offer plenty of hints at technique if you really do feel the need to
trim it down.

ftp://ftp.splode.com/pub/users/friedman/inits/init-7.4.tar.gz contains a
copy in init-7.4/bin/hosttype .
