In windows, one can always go the control panel and check what all
devices are installed and the details about them. In unix/linux
systems, how to find these? Well, I've not checked the linux desktop
environment. My question is, whether these details are stored in any
file in the directory tree or is it possible to see these thro' any
shell command? For eg., I'm learning to write a driver but don't know
what PIC is present. The system BIOS detects all the
peripherals/components and initialises them. But the kernel (one
booted up) stores these details in any file? OR the only way to find
out these is to look at the screen(monitor) after the system is
powered on and read those details as the BIOS prints message by message?
Pls answer

'lspci' command can be used to see information about all pci buses and
devices connected to it.
also try
$ cat /proc/pci
