<PRE>
&gt;<i> I don't think a GUID would be very useful.  When I installed Mandriva, I
</I>&gt;<i> installed it on one machine, setup the configurations the way I wanted
</I>&gt;<i> them, and then cloned the hd for 4 other systems.  The GUID would be
</I>&gt;<i> identical on all four systems.
</I>
Though I am against this idea, there is more unique-ID elements in a computer,
such like:

* Network Interface Card MAC address;
* Hard disk serial number (not the formatting one);
* BIOS serial number, BIOS date...

A GUID could be formed by HDD serial number + Mac Address + installed RAM Memory
+ a code to identify processor type, all this treated by a code generated on the
date and time of installation. But I think that this is a negative point and
people will compare us with a certain enterprise. ;)
