UUID generation

[redpoisonv3]

As discussed via email, certain thin client software like tlxos (thin linx) require a UUID to bind thier activation or serial key to, it appears that chrome os devices don't seem to have a uuid by default which makes them difficult to use as a thin client with permanent activation, since it doesn't quite install correctly.

I thought I would help you with the research into generating a UUID, I do hope this helps.
