The basic idea is that the application is a simple wizard with dependencies only on the base Qt5 libraries - which are set to be included with the upcoming 13.04 release.

What information / command output should be included with each of the options in the screenshot above? Feel free to edit this answer and add to the list below:

 - Graphics / display driver
    - `lspci`
 - Wireless connectivity
    - `ifconfig`

Feel free to add categories too!
