They want someone to manually go to each desktop and assess the security on it. They have 50 Linux desktops. To log in, access system files, take notes, takes about 5 minutes for an experienced technician. For this technician doing this process you are looking at about 4 hours. For a new technician you are looking at least double that, close to 7 hours.

From /proc/cpuinfo get the following

o Processor
