Why not use 'dmidecode -s system-manufacturer' and 'dmidecode -s
system-uuid' ? If that's not doable for some reason, you should run
'dmidecode -t 1' to restrict the output to system info.
Looking for 'Vendor' in the dmidecode output might give you the Bios
Vendor, not the system vendor - at least, that's what happens on one of
my systems.
