The easiest way is to look in /proc. Most of the files there can be read
with cat and gives you alot of info.  /proc/cpuinfo will generally give
you the processor type and speed.  /proc/meminfo has a breakdown of memory
usage.  One word of warning, not everything in /proc is in ascii format
and may screw up your terminal if you look at it and the file command does
not work correctly with /proc.  The main ones to watch out for are IIRC
/proc/kcore and /proc/kmsg.
