I see uuidgen generating random uuids but I user a simpler approach.

I just edited /etc/sysconfig/hw-uuid and changed one number...
We'll see if it is now a different profile...

ps. I'm able to send profile only after 10 attempts, I usually get this error:

Send this information to the Smolt server? (y/n) y
Error contacting Server: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 500: Internal error
Could not send - Exiting


or this one:

Send this information to the Smolt server? (y/n) y
Error contacting Server: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out>
Could not send - Exiting
