Hardware/Smolt

From openSUSE

Collecting Hardware Data with Smolt

Smolt is a combined effort of various projects such as Fedora and openSUSE to gather hardware information of computers running Linux. Collecting this kind of data as a cross project initiative will result in a huge amount of data which can put pressure on hardware vendors to support linux better.

From release openSUSE 11.0 the smolt client will ship with openSUSE and can be used to transfer information over to the smolts.org server where the information is collected.
