I-Nex: Tool To List Hardware Information In Linux, Similar To CPU-Z

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="https://launchpad.net/i-nex">I-Nex</a> is an application that gathers information for hardware components available on your system and displays it using an user interface similar to the popular Windows tool CPU-Z.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I-Nex can display information for the following components: CPU, GPU, Motherboard, Sound, Hard disks, RAM, Network and USB as well as some system info like the hostname, Linux distribution and version, Xorg, GCC, GLX versions and Linux Kernel info.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Besides being able to display hardware information, I-Nex can also generate an advanced report for which you can select what to include and optionally send the report to a service such as Pastebin (and others). It also features an option to take a screenshot of the I-Nex window directly from the application.</div><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The difference between I-Nex and the other hardware information GUI tools available for Linux (we <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2011/07/how-to-get-hardware-information-in.html">wrote</a> about some of them a while back) is that the information is better organized and is displayed faster (than lshw-gtk for instance). Also, the hardware information is presented in a way that's easier to understand than other such tools.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The only downside is that I-Nex uses a very new Gambas3 version for the user interface so you have to add a PPA for Gambas3, even on Ubuntu 13.04.</div><br />Here are some I-Nex screenshots:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuhDcQmLB88CtyvUUFHnCDgegzDjhaJKcAPttB_blQmCzf9Iegg6mSpmJOx79AIlVtXq1MxofphaeeL6gJ8ca5tD2h8eRwtrzPKcm7Oiyu3xJCT3w9TahtaA47EqE9XYjWaCvBM1VUNexa/s1600/i-nex-hdd.png" imageanchor="1" rel="image_group" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="HDD"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuhDcQmLB88CtyvUUFHnCDgegzDjhaJKcAPttB_blQmCzf9Iegg6mSpmJOx79AIlVtXq1MxofphaeeL6gJ8ca5tD2h8eRwtrzPKcm7Oiyu3xJCT3w9TahtaA47EqE9XYjWaCvBM1VUNexa/s320/i-nex-hdd.png" width="281" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7rYQRq-AzBHw0gdmJvjdIQGe6au-U4KSkUNeU2vvhQVfSO17djsWcMsqeqjkSJZsmqDcUsrM2WfR2I24ZIBmk6Bn-wu_GIfILCxiOfg7N4uyxkcbybngQa8jwgzieJoLMXWy-6gMoqK9V/s1600/i-nex-cpu.png" imageanchor="1" rel="image_group" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="CPU"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7rYQRq-AzBHw0gdmJvjdIQGe6au-U4KSkUNeU2vvhQVfSO17djsWcMsqeqjkSJZsmqDcUsrM2WfR2I24ZIBmk6Bn-wu_GIfILCxiOfg7N4uyxkcbybngQa8jwgzieJoLMXWy-6gMoqK9V/s320/i-nex-cpu.png" width="281" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWSVLZHm_6DAfwY_2p5o7S2WIETf_gMDZZxFLnKzhfeN81wxIGwQATP7C5bqeQ_Na2oQzlLFKecYf0m-iPsPsstNFP_fcTZGgNRvzgs-xIb9M4lH5f7aQ3T9oRkxsBDTVrfdrtuvd2XXry/s1600/i-nex-motherboard.png" imageanchor="1" rel="image_group" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Motherboard"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWSVLZHm_6DAfwY_2p5o7S2WIETf_gMDZZxFLnKzhfeN81wxIGwQATP7C5bqeQ_Na2oQzlLFKecYf0m-iPsPsstNFP_fcTZGgNRvzgs-xIb9M4lH5f7aQ3T9oRkxsBDTVrfdrtuvd2XXry/s320/i-nex-motherboard.png" width="281" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiB5O9xxCuCjx8GmwD01LDNKt09YuJEQKeuxQV1A2nS_qtAqMySSH3MRf4PVbxDanlHgh0prLdLlmqpqn5C1i344xsZRprA6ZfABEzrvmqVDzme33ThfHCjQL-oSI2fDUnytThQnGhP1NT/s1600/i-nex-sound.png" imageanchor="1" rel="image_group" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Sound"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiB5O9xxCuCjx8GmwD01LDNKt09YuJEQKeuxQV1A2nS_qtAqMySSH3MRf4PVbxDanlHgh0prLdLlmqpqn5C1i344xsZRprA6ZfABEzrvmqVDzme33ThfHCjQL-oSI2fDUnytThQnGhP1NT/s320/i-nex-sound.png" width="281" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidC5-JVZI42-HHZOhneZTtOAiDzeLZ_DaEEJNe4Vqo6Z6UVRvONWCCkw5hXJGZrswBLdQ93MfXwLmSaxvwNiITfUajvebgXVGDWpXnmUQB-OGjzXTDOsT3AqFqjn_lK_t4hAFyhzRgvZCF/s1600/i-nex-usb.png" imageanchor="1" rel="image_group" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="USB"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidC5-JVZI42-HHZOhneZTtOAiDzeLZ_DaEEJNe4Vqo6Z6UVRvONWCCkw5hXJGZrswBLdQ93MfXwLmSaxvwNiITfUajvebgXVGDWpXnmUQB-OGjzXTDOsT3AqFqjn_lK_t4hAFyhzRgvZCF/s320/i-nex-usb.png" width="281" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnQX9DlAWe74LOgxxn4yIWizvYGu73HT2idg8P10NOe4HxCo34rOFUNLQMCSXVrzqNkA5twB04JRIosX_qVBwEeE7ncTswEwI2x_qTV1rxHbnzQyl24b_nAvR61qlQdRK55gKM_zMEb7m3/s1600/i-nex-gpu.png" imageanchor="1" rel="image_group" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="GPU"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnQX9DlAWe74LOgxxn4yIWizvYGu73HT2idg8P10NOe4HxCo34rOFUNLQMCSXVrzqNkA5twB04JRIosX_qVBwEeE7ncTswEwI2x_qTV1rxHbnzQyl24b_nAvR61qlQdRK55gKM_zMEb7m3/s320/i-nex-gpu.png" width="281" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Note: just like with others such tools to list hardware information, the data it displays is not always 100% accurate!</b></div><br /><br /><h2>Install I-Nex in Ubuntu</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Like I was saying above, you must add the Gambas3 PPA along with the I-Nex PPA to be able to install I-Nex in Ubuntu.
