It's always a nice piece of information.  But, it's not really accurate
to report problem. It's should be done by bug reports.

Maybe highlight important stuff, like the RAM and the CPU, and how to
find it with the live-cd ? Except this, it seems good.

We can create poll easily on Launchpad, it could be a solution to have a
bit of information easily. Writing a report is not always fun :) So,
just voting (like "Have you 64, 128, 256 or higher MB of RAM ?) is
easier for the feedback.
