We're using 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. 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!

Now that you've received the link to your hardware profile, please add it to the table below, as this will help us a lot to get an overview on which hardware SoaS is used on where issues occur. Note that with your admin password, you'll be also able to rate your experience with SoaS regarding the hardware support on your profile page. You can also provide it if you're filing a bug report on [http://dev.sugarlabs.org dev.sl.o].

== Measuring Responsiveness ==
 +
 +
We are trying to get a handle on what hardware produces a snappy experience, and what produces a sluggish, but acceptable experience. For slow machines, we are curious whether they could be upgraded by adding memory (potentially scavenged from other donated computers) or add a USB 2.0 card (<$10).  We are imagining getting a good number of donated, older computers, and we are thinking ahead about how to turn these into acceptable computers that kids could take home.
 +
 +
Please report boot-up speed and how long it takes to open common activities for the 2nd time. Some of them are slow on the first load.  Turtle Art, Browse and Write are good ones to look at.

Running <code>dstat -at --output dstat.log</code> in a terminal can be helpful.
