How to Get CPU & RAM info in Linux

For CPU

1. cat /proc/cpuinfo for complete details
2. To get no. of processors/cores run below command

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l




For RAM
1. cat /proc/meminfo (for complete details)
2. free -m (currently installed & used RAM)

To find RAM slots & installed memory type below command

dmidecode | grep -A 8 'Memory'

you will see below outout. There are 2 slots available & RAM installed at both slots. Please check No. of devices & Memory Device for more info

[root@bhagwat ~]# dmidecode | grep -A 8 'Memory'

Edit Hosts File in Windows 8 or 8.1 With Single Command

There are so many posts on internet to edit hosts file in Windows 8,1 but none of the method worked for me.

I found a very easy way to edit the hosts file

Please run Command Prompt with Administrator privileged & run following command

attrib -r %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

& that's it. Open the hosts file with your desired editor & change the file

Enjoy.....:)
