How would that be basically different from what most Linux distributors do these days? i386-redhat-linux-gnu i586-suse-linux-gnu Essentially the main difference would be providing a distribution version number. But that's such a marginal detail which apparently is negligible for the vast amount of applications to config.guess. If you really need it, you can still obtain it in other ways (grep'ing /etc/*-release). Ralf
