I was just wondering, not that I really need it( I can get most of the specs from lspci, /proc,etc..), is there a kind of device manager (like in windows) for linux?

I saw it once on a screenshot and it looked fun to install this ;). It's just something to keep me busy.

thnx
grtz

I know of several GUIs that will show information about installed hardware, there are more, I'm sure.

GNOME: hal-device-manager
http://packages.gentoo.org/packages/?category=gnome-extra;name=hal-device-manager

KDE: kinfocenter, part of kcontrol I believe
http://packages.gentoo.org/packages/?category=kde-base;name=kcontrol

GTK+ without GNOME: lshw (run with -X option).
http://packages.gentoo.org/packages/?category=sys-apps;name=lshw
