Most if not all proprietary UNIX systems have dedicated tools to collect system information, including hardware configuration and installed software. Other Linux variants have their own mechanisms to collect system information, for example Red Hat Enterprise Linux has sosreport. You can either copy this by hand, or use the mouse to select the text 'Hardware fingerprint: 7777-7777' and copy it to the clipboard. You do not need to enter anything into the Name field at this stage, it is just the hardware fingerprint which I need.
