You may also want to look at "df" (just enter "df" or "man df" to learn what it does - shows partition information and other mounted filesystems). Enter "cat /var/log/dmesg|more" to view all sorts of info about your machine (that which Linux has recognized), including memory and hard disk size. Also, enter "cat /proc/meminfo" for memory-specific info (this should match up with data from "free" command.) Good luck.
