True, I guess 'NEED' was too strong.  But if people are going to send 
in the output of 'uname', I'd rather have the output from 2.0.12 than 
2.0.11, which is identical for all Linux systems.  Even if it hasn't 
been customized by a distribution, that information would be more 
interesting than what's already known.

Especially if someone has compiled it for a non-Linux system like 
True64 or Solaris.  I'd be interested in knowing if the "default" 
string is simply "unknown" or something else.
