I am extremely new here. Someone wants to upgrade off of Unix to Windows 2000 and wants to know if they need to buy new hardware
How do I find out what type of Unix they're using?
How do I find out the current hardware of the system? (Intel, ..etc)
Thanks

uname -a should return info about the OS.
dmesg gives some cryptic hardware info on Solaris
I have found another command that provides better detail on the OS version you are using:
oslevel it will provide this output
> oslevel
4.3.2.0
Whereas on our machine, doing uname -a gives this output:
> uname -a
AIX svcas07 3 4 000145364C00
OS Name Release Version Machine ID
I added the labels underneath for clarity.
For me, doing uname -a gives less accurate info than oslevel does.
Hope this is helpful.

"oslevel" is only available on AIX machines. "uname -a" is available on just about everything.
