Not sure which exact specifications you are looking for, or how detailed
you want them to be. For some simple specs, open System Monitor and
click the System tab.
what you suggested just tells me the procesor and memory, id like to know what mother board im using for example

For a big list of items get the package "hardinfo" from the Synaptic
Package Manager. It's in the repository by default. Once you have it use
alt+F2 and type "hardinfo" to get your specs.
woaaaaa thats what i was talking about !!! thanks ... now, i would like to inform that i have a buggy system... so what should i say about my hardware and the bug and where should i report it?

You can submit information on h-node.org to inform other people how
compatible your hardware is. As for reporting the hardware, hardware is
usually buggy on Trisquel because it requires non-free firmware for the
hardware, and Trisqul doesn't have anything non-free. I don't know if
there is anywhere that you can report this, but it most likely can't be
fixed without non-free drivers.
so the solution is to get hardware from think pinguin? or the other option is to built a PC my self with hardware that use only free firmware? where can i see the parts i need? or im screwed?
I am a member!
The problem is not all hardware works equally well and not all hardware is free software friendly. You *can* build your own system that in theory should be free software friendly and there is a decent chance it will work pretty well in Trisquel.
Now I'm the CEO & Founder of the ThinkPenguin and deal with these issues daily. Often there systems where people are trying to get a piece of hardware from us to work on a system that just isn't well supported. What happens is people get motherboards and other parts which in theory should work (they use Intel graphics and have atheros wireless chipsets for instance). Then though the problem is there are actually lots of other problems you can still run into as well-which aren't free software related. Bugs!
An unfortunate percentage of systems ship with a buggy BIOS for instance. You can often find a hack to work around these issues- although not always- and not easily. How many trial-and-error fixes are you going to run through? If you get lucky you'll find the fix sooner than later. But often people spend hours and never find a fix that works. In other instances people will get a part that works- but does not work well. For instance they may get an atheros wireless which works "well" but then there isn't any power management support. Yea- despite that atheros is generally considered to have great support for free software there are issues with various chipsets.
You can look toward h-node to see what other people are reporting with different pieces. You do need to take it with a grain of salt and be prepared to return parts. There are a lot of errors in this database we have come across (yes- and fixed- at least some).
I'd post a list of parts here if your going to build something. There are a few people here who are a bit more knowledgeable. If I notice it i'll often investigate too. Though it's still not 100% certain the part you get will work. Sometimes chipsets change or a particular piece of hardware should work in theory although end up having an unsupported ID (which means a patch needs to be submitted upstream so that the driver knows to load for the given component- can take a while- generally better to just return it- and move on to another part).
Why big hardware companys dont sell parts with free firmware, or even small hardware companys? We are billions wanting that so our lovely trisquel works *well*
Various reasons. Planned obsolescence might be one, just not caring enough and not having a customer base that cares enough might be another. I think a reason for AMD with its graphics controllers is DRM.
