Bug#370318: tasksel: Please provide hardinfo in desktop-environment task
Package: tasksel
Version: 2.44
Severity: wishlist
Hardinfo is both a gtk2 and text program that shows all the hardware on the system.
The gtk2 version is placed under system tools menu in Gnome, as is very slick, simple
and effective. I find it easier to understand, and better than ubuntu's equivalent.
A gui program like this is very important in the desktop-environment task, I think,
because the #1 question users have when some hardware isn't working is, "but what
hardware do I have?". Using this program, they don't have to learn the more exoteric
lspci and lsusb commands.
