I can't upvote this enough. At least put the cutsie name in the goddamn uname -a result. Drives me bonkers having to look that shit up.



lsb_release -a is what you want.


Thank you very very much. But I still think that it should be in uname -a. I have never heard of lsb_release... and I'm not new to the stuff.

If they really wanted to improve UI, it would also be in the 'system settings' link under the username on the desktop panel- for users that run desktops.
