Your equating a hardware profile to being able to read a BIOS ID and ban a computer on a hardware level, or being able to go into the registry/file search to peruse through a users system. A hardware profile is necessary in current gen computing for NUMEROUS reasons. Linux, Mac, Windows, BSD, it doesn't matter. But if we're talking the kind of shit this article is refering to, no, it won't happen under a Linux computer that is not using the safeboot hardware crap. With it, I don't know. It wouldn't surprise me if a kernel solution was being cooked up to turn off access to it however.

Well they can already read your hardware at all levels so I don't get what the big difference is.
