uname reports information about the kernel, not the hardware. So for a 32-bit kernel it will report 32-bit information (with strings like i386 and i686), and on a 64-bit kernel it will contain 64-bit sorts of strings (x86_64, amd64 etc.) Precisely what it says depends upon what the person who built the kernel told it to, though. -- Avi -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
