Hardware Metrics - standard device specifics inventory? [PREY]

[ANDY]

DELL LATITUDE D600
UBUNTU 9.10 +proposed
PREY 0.5.3


I am assuming that Linux has a standard way of inventorying all attached
devices that include (if not their make-model) the geometry (size/features)
along with bios and serial number.  Can anyone tell me what that command is?

I'm using the free LoJack like anti-theft tool called Prey which currently
reports the below hardware configuration metrics to fingerprint the system.
But since other attached devices would be involved in the theft (such
printer, external drives, etc), you want those in the inventory to assist in
identification and recovery.

The UUID seems maybe of limited use.  Because if the system is
updated/formatted, couldn't that change?
