Hi all,

I have access to a remote server via SSH. I would like to know if there
is any possible way to find out the speed and type of CPU and available
memory via command line. Is it possible? If yes, how?

[snip]

Even better:

x86info
x86info: command not found

Uhh, did I need to say that you need to install it first?  If so, use your
favorite software manager (Yast2, etc.) to install it first.

Despite all that, it's not standard.  And who says
the original poster has the ability to install software
on the machine he's SSH-ing to?  Or that it's even
available -- because it isn't on my 10.1 system, and
install nearly all the software available in a SuSE
distro (except for most of the CJK stuff, which I
have no need for, and it takes up a lot of space).

I wouldn't rely on something that's not universal for
something so basic.

/proc is both universal on Linux machines, and
also being adopted on Unix flavors, too.

(/proc is an idea ported from the Plan 9 OS)
