We're trying to use the [http://www.smolts.org Smolt] project to keep information about the various systems. Smolt is a hardware profiler and has been introduced with [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Smolt Fedora 7]. Since then, also openSUSE has joined the project. We're working on creating an identifier for SoaS in the Smolt database.

Smolt basically helps you to submit your hardware information to a place, where people like us developers can check them out, for example if you encounter any issues. Smolt development is hosted [https://fedorahosted.org/smolt/ here] and if you're worried about your privacy, you can have a look at Smolt's [https://fedorahosted.org/smolt/wiki/PrivacyPolicy privacy policy] here. Note that you can remove your hardware information at any time - instructions for this are also listed below!
