Howto
=====

Here are some notes on how to find out more about a given machine:

-  ``cat /proc/cpuinfo``
-  ``df -h``
-  ``sudo dmidecode --type 17`` for RAM information
-  Get CPU Info on a Mac: ``sysctl -n machdep.cpu.brand_string``

.. note::
   The results presented later were obtained from the new MPIK cluster machine ``lfc301``.
