How do I check my computers specs on Linux?

I’ve recently made the switch from Microsoft Windows to Linux. The distribution I’m using is Fedora 7.
What I would like to know, is how do I check my systems specs? For example, on Windows you right click on My Computer and go Properties. You then get an overview or you can choose to go to the Device Manager.
Basically I’m trying to keep an eye on all my hardware to ensure its running correctly.
Thanks.

Ummmm…..I am not much familiar with Fedora (I use Ubuntu), but there has to be some place in it. Anyway, Linux offers so much versatile help that you can know it from a Linux geek yourself. If you know how to use IRC, join a Fedora channel (must be something like #fedora ) and there you can chat with Fedora geeks and get solutions to your problems!
"dmesg" should be able to give you hardware configuration.
Fedora’s not my thing, but there should be some terminal entry you can do.. lsmod, perhaps..
I don’t know if there is a GUI version on Fedora..
