You mean the processor serial number?  Mac address?  "Hardware 
ID's number" may have some specific meaning in windows, but 
nowhere else.

If it's the processor serial number, see what "cat /proc/cpuinfo" 
tells you - my two machines here are cpu id level 1 (no ID) and 
level 2 (ID disabled) so I couldn't tell you what the serial 
number looks like exactly.  I'm pretty sure the linux kernel 
disables the PSN by default unless the user has built support in 
or specifies some boot parameter like "enablecpuid" (it's not 
that, but it's something like it.)

There is also a program called x86info that will retrieve the PSN 
if it hasn't been disabled.
