[SLL] Well, I don't love CentOS, but at least it gets uname -i and uname -p to give real info...

[Xeno Campanoli]

Not only that, but that info is available from uname -a apparently.

Oddly, the uname -m information appears to be more dependent on the type
of Kernel than the machine itself.  For instance, on my UbuntuME kernel,
which is the only one I installed that is 32bit, it says i686 for uname
-a, whereas on my 64 bit kernal on plain Ubuntu Gutsy, it says x86_64.
So, it's really not the machine, but how the kernel runs on the machine.
 Given that, either somebody implemented something wrong, or else the
man page is wrong when it says it's "machine".  Well, perhaps different
kernels just have a different name for the "machine", but I would think
that wouldn't be best.
