Smolt is a hardware profiling software
. Currently only Fedora and OpenSuse include it by default, which skews the statistics towards x86/x86_64 hardware. In fact, for embedded or hardware-designed-for-linux such as the N900 it does not make much sense since all the hardware already works.... but as a method to get "counted" or turn attention to alternative architectures/form factors it could serve its purpose.
Personally I was mostly just curious what hardware it would report. Since all N900 should be the same it does not make much sense to add more of the same I guess. But still cool... or perhaps thats just me.
EDIT: One potential use case to upload N900 hardware profiles to Smolt would be to enable community distros (such as Mer or a community driven MeeGo variant) to identify the hardware that requires out-of-mainline drivers or proprietary firmware.
