That might suit someone who's sitting with a new and unknown box on the 
desk in front of them. I usually have to discover this for machines 
that are in some unknown location and to which I only have ssh access.

Rebooting is most certainly not an option, even if i could get a CD into 
them. If I do that, the SLA kicks in and that will bankrupt the 
company...

The combination of what flags does what and which model number is which 
actual cpu product is much much more complex than I ever thought :-)
