It works better than uname -a for me
cat /proc/version

I can get more accurate information, correct?

I like this output a lot better than “uname -a”output.
Ideal for reports/inventory/presentations.

Thanks a lot!

exactly what I was looking for. It’s useful to be able to determine this kind of information for automated scripts that connect to and perform tasks on multiple machines of various flavors, versions and distros.
