Could it be an option to add the relevant information to sage_root/install.log and prune from there? Some of the info we're looking at is already available in that file. For instance... info copied from an install.log:
uname -a: Linux dirichlet 2.6.31-21-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 24 07:28:27 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux gcc version 4.4.1 (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9) checking whether we are using GNU C... yes I can create a Python script to gather information on Red Hat and Debian based systems about hardware. As for OS-X, Solaris, BSD and *gasp* installs under Cygwin or similar, I have little idea. I also am not sure how to proceed in a consistent manner for other non-RH/D-based Linux systems like Slackware.
