large problem from a slog perspective; there is no standard way even
within Linux to describe CPUs, for example. Collecting available disk

Quite likely, naiveness follows... But, aren't things like /proc/cpuinfo ,
/proc/meminfo, /proc/partitions / /proc/diskstats standard, at the very
least across Linux distros? I'm not familiar with BSD or other Unix
flavours, but I would expect these (or their equivalent) to exist in those,
no?
Am I just being naive?
unfortunantly yes.
across different linux distros they are fairly standard (however different
kernel versions will change them)
however different kernels need drasticly different tools to get the info
from them.
