Hwinfo is SUSE specific.


Debian page says :-

Debian -- Details of package hwinfo in sid
hwinfo is the hardware detection tool used in SuSE Linux.
In Debian Edu ( Skolelinux) hwinfo has shown better results
than discover when detecting mouse, ..


The Mandriva spec file lists :-
Add debian patch to get it build in non-suse distro


At the risk of repeating myself - it does build/run on CentOS 5.

That is not in dispute. I was responding to the claim
that "Hwinfo is made for Debian based systems". Why would
debian add a patch to get it to build on none-suse systems
if its "made for debian systems"?

Though not as verbose compared to hwinfo's output (on debian here) I've
found lshw (http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/lshw/) very useful.
