Hi :)
...
Does smolt distinguish between two different computers and two installations (reinstallation, for example) of the same computer?
I ask this because I have different scenarios:
1.- say you install openSUSE 11.1 and then you reinstall because you goofed up. Would that count as 1 installation and smolt would not resend the info? Or does smolt count that as 2 different systems and resends the info as if it were a different computer?
2.- Say you were a Fedora user and you added your computer to the smolt statistics. A couple of months later you discover openSUSE, get rid of Fedora never to go back and install openSUSE 11.1. Would that also be counted as a new computer?
3.- What if you have a partition with openSUSE 11.0 from which you've already run smolt and decide to upgrade to 11.1? Is that a new computer added to the smolt statistics?
4.- What if you have 1 partition with openSUSE 11.0 with which you sent all the info to smolt web and you install openSUSE 11.1 on another partition and all the info gets sent back to smolt's web. Is that counted as a new/another different computer?
Been looking for the answers to these questions on smolt's web but haven't found it. Maybe looking in the wrong place? Any ideas?
When you run smolt it will create unique ID in /etc/smolt . If it is deleted them machine will be counted again. To remedy this as much as possible they count, for statistics page, only last 90 days. The project is still in development and ideas how to work around problems are welcome.
