Hi John,

One of the most useful commands to check what hardware is being detected
at boot time in your system is "dmesg". As it says in the man page "The 
program  helps  users to print out their bootup messages". You should run
it right after the system has booted, as the kernel ring buffer may be
filled with other kernel information.

For hardware browser, hwbroser is a GUI application that might be useful
too. Depending on which hardware you are looking for, you may want the
following commands:
- lspci
- lsusb
- lshal

Cheers,

Pedro.
