Re: Smolt: Fedora Hardware Profiler

Smolt is a hardware profiler for Fedora so we can get a better idea of
what type of hardware is out there in the Fedora universe. It's still
in beta but those of you running FC6 or newer (rawhide) can
participate.

Just type "yum install smolt" followed by "smoltSendProfile". All
sends are anonymous and the only tie to hardware is via a UUID that
gets sent. We can't trace the UUID back to you without you giving us
the UUID, which may be helpful for those experiencing hardware or
driver issues.

I've just checked out smoltPrint, which claims
We would send the following information to the Fedora Smolt server:

One very noticable problem in the information it reports is that it
reports the current CPU speed, not the maximum. It calls my system a
1 GHz system (which it is, when it's not loaded, due to Cool'n'Quiet and
cpuspeed), not a 2 GHz system.

Would it not make more sense to query
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq , if it exists?

Would you like me to Bugzilla this, or use
