Getting the Serial Number of the User's computer

[Peter Alcibiades]

Yes indeed.  It comes as standard in Debian, and I think Ubuntu also, but I
don't know about the rest.  Its in /usr/sbin and requires root privileges,
implying sudo, which also may well not be available in all distros, and not
to the particular user in any case.  It isn't very neat. Maybe run the app
install as root and change the permissions and put a link in /usr/bin?  Not
an expert on this stuff.
