I just changed my Dell Inspirion 6000 OS from Ubuntu to Zubuntu (it’s supposed to be a bit faster). It’s an old Dell I bought a few years ago, but still runs well; and runs better with Linux.
I wanted to check what my Dell service tag was, but off course the Service Tag on the bottom of the laptop has faded! Well – I didn’t want the hassle (even if it is relatively quick to reboot) of rebooting to BIOS to check what it was.
I found the following command in Ubuntu will retrieve your Service Tag.
sudo dmidecode -s system-serial-number
Great!
