We all know the cat /proc/cpuinfo etc for finding out the CPU information, but I had no idea how to find the model of the motherboard without checking my server spreadsheet list.
Enter DMIdecode.

Find Server Hardware Information
Show your current motherboard
dmidecode --type baseboard

You can also use:
bios
system
baseboard
chassis
processor
memory
cache
connector
slot

Find Networking Hardware
Show your current speed and duplex
dmesg | grep -i duplex

Or use ethtool
ethtool eth1

After playing a little bit with WINE I decided to try PlayOnLinux instead – MUCH EASIER!

However, when installing the Office 2010 suite, I breezed through the Outlook setup and ended up picking some wrong information. At that point I’d generally open up the Mail Control Panel on windows and remove the offending profile. Linux is a little more difficult.

~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Office2010/drive_c/windows/system32 > POL_Wine control.exe

This then opens the control.exe application which allows you to select the mail control panel and then from here remove the profile (or change it).
