# uname -a Linux zaphod 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 #1 SMP Mon Apr 14 01:07:33 CEST 2008 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux But please note that the binaries for this platform were provided by Peter Breitenlohner this year. His system is even older than mine. It's better to ask him if you need the details (peb at mppmu.mpg.de). BTW, the glibc is much more important than the kernel. And maybe the version of gcc matters, too.
