Thanks. Yes I think I will need to do a mixture of things, knowing what I have
out there.

Hi Michael,
Just for completeness, the Linux kernel exposes some DMI (Destktop
Management Information) values in the /sys virtual filesystem.

And that is one of the more accurately defined boards, many are loaded with
"To Be Filled By O.E.M".
As suggested below, some hash of the CPU model and the first 3 bytes of the
ethernet MAC address would be a better indicator.
