Linux: How to find out motherboard type?

[mikeshn]

Is it possible to get motherboard type in Linux through shell? Just run some command on shell and get motherboard type? I couldn't find such infor in "/proc"

I don't think that you can get the motherboard type through a command, although I could be wrong. What you can get through the shell is what type of chipsets you have by issuing the command "lspci" it should show the type of controlers, which most of the times is more important to know than motherboard type.

I hope this helps,

What do you mean by motherboard "type"? If you mean manufacturer or model number, I don't know how to do it from within Linux. However, I'm sure you could reboot the computer and see the model in the POST info.

just open the case, how long does that take? 3 minutes to read it off the motherboard?
