uname tells you what system you are working on. Although our primary focus
is Linux, knowing how to determine the system can be crucial in
determining why something does not work. Same for knowing the release info
from uname. For example, I have a script that uses SQL command to access
data in a database for which I already have a connection. Source it under
AIX Korn shell and it works fine. Source it under Linux Bash shell and it
does not work. Similarly, if you need to depend on something from at least
kernel x, then you need to know whether you are running a system with at
least kernel x.
See http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-lpic1-v3-103-1/ for
my uname info for LPIC `103.
