A GUI utility which helps newbies get information that may be useful
in helping them get answers on irc, forums, mailing lists etc, might
be helpful.

Things like the output of:
uname -a
cat /proc/cpuinfo
lsmod
lspci
lsusb
tail /var/log/messages
du -h
free -h

Or other info such:
current desktop environment
current login manager
