Actually, I used VC++ on Windows 7 to simulate the Linux uname call. It
always gives the same response.

Here's the code:

std::cout<<"Linux floyd 2.6.28-18-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28
01:23:03 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux"<<std::endl;

It's the only Windows program I have that never BSOD's!

Nope. *Much* easier: You googled it

Those uname strings are thousands a dime on google

I'm sure you are aware that Ubuntu is derived from Debian.

It's Ubuntu 9.04 on here.

Does 7 actually read what he writes at all? What's the point of writing
a crossposted 54-line article celebrating a tautology?
