Well, it's a darn good thing there is nothing like that over here on the Linux side. I'm pretty sure that if e.g. systemd attempted to generate a unique, persistent machine identifier during the installation process, it'd be shot down and patched off extremely quickly.

Linux does though?

  cat /etc/machine-id

Not wanting to be left out, FreeBSD has it too.
