uname -a gives the following on one of my machines: FreeBSD kennett.freebsddiary.cx 3.1-19990318-STABLE FreeBSD 3.1-19990318- STABLE #3: Thu Mar 18 09:03:30 NZDT 1999 root@kennett.freebsddiary.cx:/usr/src/sys/compile/KENNETT i386 By looking at man uname, I can see that "3.1-19990318-STABLE" is the current release (uname -r). uname -v gives this: FreeBSD 3.1-19990318-STABLE #3: Thu Mar 18 09:03:30 NZDT 1999 root@kennett.freebsddiary.cx:/usr/src/sys/compile/KENNETT In the above is the name of the user that compiled the kernel and the name of the kernel. But what's that #3? On another machine I get "FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE #0: Wed Mar 3 21:11:33 NZDT 1999" which is just another snapshot of -stable as far as I can tell. What does the #n denote? -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary http://www.FreeBSDDiary.com/freebsd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
