CPU info

"Adam Horner"n:http://www.salmagundi.org.uk/ showed me how to check, on a linux system, information about the CPU make and model on the command line:

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

I write it down so I don't forget. Note that this is on the command line, i.e. when you don't even have a graphical interface.

Running this on the very server I serve these pages:

peterbe@compaqpete:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

vendor_id       : GenuineIntel

Not very impressive is it. A 700Mhz Celeron. At least it's possible to run Zope, Squid and Apache on it.
