prodz & others (including myself),
put them this way. every branded unix system is likely to be dependant on the hardware supplied together with the os. for example ibm aix runs best only on ibm rs6000, sun solaris on sun sparc-based, and hp-ux on hp9000 machines.
this is one of the motivation for linux father "tuan guru" linus tolvard to create a unix system which runs on intel-based machines - the ibm-compatible personal computers.
correct me if this remark misleads.

I'd very much appreciate all suggestions.

UUID(3) Libuuid API UUID(3) NAME
uuid - DCE compatible Universally Unique Identifier library SYNOPSIS
#include <uuid/uuid.h> DESCRIPTION
The UUID library is used to generate unique identifiers for objects that may be accessible beyond the local system. This library generates UUIDs compatible with those created by the Open Software Foundation (OSF) Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) utility uuidgen. The UUIDs generated by this library can be reasonably expected to be unique within a system, and unique across all systems. They could be used, for instance, to generate unique HTTP cookies across multiple web servers without communication between the servers, and without fear of a name clash. CONFORMING TO
