Smolt is a hardware profiler for Fedora so we can get a better idea of what type of hardware is out there in the Fedora universe. It's still in beta but those of you running FC6 or newer (rawhide) can participate.
Just type "yum install smolt" followed by "smoltSendProfile". All sends are anonymous and the only tie to hardware is via a UUID that gets sent. We can't trace the UUID back to you without you giving us the UUID, which may be helpful for those experiencing hardware or driver issues.
I've just checked out smoltPrint, which claims We would send the following information to the Fedora Smolt server:
One very noticable problem in the information it reports is that it reports the current CPU speed, not the maximum. It calls my system a 1 GHz system (which it is, when it's not loaded, due to Cool'n'Quiet and cpuspeed), not a 2 GHz system.
Would it not make more sense to query /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq , if it exists?
Would you like me to Bugzilla this, or use https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/smolt/newticket?
