awesome that sysctl hw.uuid matches the uuid in the vps info page on the portal toddf: it does?!?!?!! LOL, I didn't even do that... I wonder how it knows ;) lawl that does seem rather useful uuid is something exported by the processor iirc, and kvm can have a uuid for the system. bios enables/disables it in most physical systems that have it. I presume kvm supports it and the bios you're using doesn't hide it .. if my cluebits are all in a row toddf: not processor, it's in the smbios data but close enough ah, somehow I recalled seeing it in the cpu features section of biosen, came to the wrong conclusion obviously Heh. I work for a company that builds and ships OEM servers, I'm well versed in the realms of SMBIOS and DMI pages. ah interesting my vps came with a arpnetworks user in the image, is it safe to delete that? http://support.arpnetworks.com/kb/vps/can-i-delete-the-arpnetworks-user-on-my-vps ty hmm :-)
