You’ve just bought a new dedicated server, what should you do before moving?
Check what is promissed and what is given!

  1. Check the CPU
    # dmesg | grep "CPU:"
    CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz (2813.54-MHz 686-class CPU)
  2. Memory
    #dmesg | grep memory
    real memory = 1072627712 (1022 MB)
    avail memory = 1040084992 (991 MB)
  3. Hard Disk
    #di -th | grep Total
    Total 104.4G 1.2G 94.8G 9%
  4. Number of IPs (I’ve masked my ips with ?)

    #ifconfig -a | grep inet
    inet ??.???.??.?? netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast ??.???.?.?
    inet ??.???.??.?? netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast ??.???.?.?
    inet ??.???.??.?? netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast ??.???.?.?
    inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

    What about
    cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal
    cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep “model name”

    both would work if you’re on a linux. Thanks.
