You can get the system information by string processing the results of the grep command. I don't know much on Java though, first find a way to issue terminal commands on Java, like for example to get the video card specs you may process the results of "glxinfo | grep vendor". You can also get the HDD Physical capacity by filtering the results by grep of the "df" command. ^_^

This is what I find weird. Java is by definition platform-independent. Any method of fetching system-specific information is going to be by definition platform-DEPENDENT. So what gives?

Thanks for clearing things up! I failed to add that the solution that I came up would only be applicable on unix platforms. Being a PHP developer I came out with that solution since I can issue shell commands with exec() function. After googling a while, I found that there's a way to invoke shell commands in Java by Runtime.exec() function. ^_^
