How to get smbios dump file in linux

Hi Arthur,

There is a tool that can be used to retrieve Linux PC information without probing too much the tool is dmidecode.  This is used in dumping the computer’s DMI (SMBIOS) in a readable format. It has hardware descriptions and a useful information regarding the computer. It also reports the optimum capacity of the hardware.  To access it type the command: dmidecode in the run box and this will locate the DMI table.

For Ubuntu users, there is a SMBIOS management/utility program that can be used. Information regarding this is found here.
