Then I thought all computers must have a motherboard - so why not use

Good idea, or is there something better?
Yes, that would work good. And the MAC address can easily be changed.
Something like "ifconfig eth0 hw net 00:34:E3:F1:A0".
How about using:
dmidecode -s system-uuid
Keep in mind that some motherboards refuse to be reduced to a mere
number. :-) I have a Tyan board that gives this number:
$ sudo dmidecode -s system-uuid
00020003-0004-0005-0006-000700080009
