Management wants this list and they don't understand kernel >versions..lol Do a "cat /etc/*release" command. Most Linux systems have a file matching that pattern that describes the distro. My SLES 9 box has this: SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (s390x) VERSION = 9 >Also, how can I tell if it is 32-bit or 64-bit. The "uname -m" command will output "s390" on a 31-bit system, or "s390x" on a 64-bit system. - MacK. ----- Edmund R. MacKenty Software Architect Rocket Software, Inc.
