I'd definitely vote for the more explicit versions with the name in hierarchical order, even as far as powerpc_powermac_oldworld. They've changed often enough that there is no standard. Then you could follow the pattern with powerpc_chrp_rs6k etc, and these would become machine parseable. -- Debian GNU/Linux Operating System By the People, For the People Chris Tillman (a people instance) toff one at cox dot net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
