Question Who the "blip" is thomas?


Hi,

Okay, I'm prepping to install something, I need sysinfo, so I enter this in the console:

Quote:
cat /proc/version
... and this came back:

Quote:
Linux version 2.6.39-ARCH (thomas@evey) (gcc version 4.6.1 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jul 9 15:31:04 CEST 2011
.. so...who is this thomas??

That line is just the username@machinename where your kernel was built.
