mhm, so there's no native way on a linux?
Depending on your kernel, the DMI information may be available via 
sysfs.  You asked for the serial number before.  I have that at:
/sys/class/dmi/id/board_serial

Contents are equivalent to `dmidecode -s baseboard-serial-number`.  The 
equivalent of Christoph's suggestion (dmidecode -s system-uuid) is 
available at:
/sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid
