Hey, that's pretty cool, I didn't know about lshw before. It doesn't 
come with my SuSE 10.0 system, but it is available under Gentoo.

I tried on my Shuttle SN25P box, and it didn't report serial numbers for 
anything except the onboard Ethernet.

In general, the OP isn't going to get anything like a universally-usable 
serial number, apart from Ethernet MAC addresses.

By the way, lshw seems to think there's a second CPU on my box, but it's 
marked as "DISABLED" and has no capabilities. Is it really there, or 
just a figment of someone's imagination? :)
