You have to understand the difference between a pipe ``|'', and a
command substitution ``$(foo)'' (backticks can be used instead of $(),
when nesting isn't needed).
The script follows:
#!/bin/sh
case "$(uname -a | awk '{print $1}')" in
Linux)
echo "Hi, I'm Linus Torvalds & I pronounce Linux as Linux."
;;
Solaris)
echo "Hi, I'm Steven Soderbergh & I pronounce Solaris as Solaris."
;;
*)
echo "Hi, I don't know who I am & I can't even spell \`\`potato''."
;;

Cheers,
Jan.
