1. What do you mean by server? The hardware? If you are referring to the operating system, try uname -a.
2. Same as above for the kernel version. For the package revisions it will differ depending which distribution you are using. Try looking for any /etc/*release files perhaps?
3. cat /proc/cpuinfo.

RE: Q #2,
Unlike Windows, there is no unified versioning of the "server". Each application tends to be progressed on a versioning path on its own. The kernel also progresses on its own version path. Obviously under such a scenario, there is a great deal of granular information to understand your server's patch levels.
If you run a distribution that is based upon .RPM patches (RedHat, Centos, Fedora, etc.) you can get some very good information from "rpm -qa | sort | more"
I'm sure someone here can suggest a similar command for a .pbk/.deb based solution for the Debian-based packaged distributions.
