Nope.  When you run the linux shell you get the linux paths from root.
Create a shell script to run uname -a and then run it from inside of the
linux shell, you'll get the linux uname just fine.  Or you should....

You should not need to do this!  I get 2.2.12 WITHOUT having the linux compat 
in the my path.  Looks like something is broken somewhere...:(

This is with linux_base-6.1 from ports.
