> The current operation of uname is highly unhelpful. The purpose of

> At the moment the Redhat 4.2 and 5.0 (for example) systems both give
> identical
> output despite the fact that binaries are not interchangeable between
> the two
> systems.

> Please can this be fixed.

> Is there a good reason not to have:
>
> -r "Print the operating system release" give RH5.0
>
> -s "Print the operating system name." give Linux
>
> and
>
> -v "Print the operating system version." give 2.0.30
>
> This would be consistent with other Unixes.
>
> The date and time at which the kernel was compiled (current output of
> uname
> -v) is not generally useful.
