Is there a mint equivalent to About this computer?I have been searching everywhere in Mint Mate 16.04 for my hardware on this machine.It must be in there somewhere!Help!!

There is a program in Synaptic Package Manager called hardinfo. Install it. It will then be in your main Menu called : System Profiler & Benchmark.
It is just what you are looking for !

PS: Hi from Mistatim, Sk.
PSS: You can also easily get your hardware info by using this terminal command: inxi -Fx

Thanks.I just saw the inxi -Fxdz in another question.Did it,it works.No need to install anything else.That gives me far more info.Just an observation here- I agree with another comment I saw,about Ask Ubuntu people having snooty attitude.Luckily,most of the advice given here also applies to Ubuntu.So there!

To find out all of the cool stuff that inxi can do : inxi -h

if you are using the Mate DE of LinuxMint,
then there is System Monitor, which does give a snapshot of the system.
- it can be installed, if you are using another DE such as Cinnamon.
( Mate-System-Monitor )
