Is this causing any of my problems?

I have some problems which I will not go into right now and I was looking into different ways of solving them. The main one being a move from Suse 11 to Debian.

One thing I notice however is that output of 'uname' labels the machine and processor as i686 and the hardware platform as i386.

PHP Code:




am0032@linux-ckg1:~> uname -a 
Linux linux-ckg1 2.6.25.5-1.1-default #1 SMP 2008-06-07 01:55:22 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Should this be so? Shouldn't all three match?

Many thanks

I use Ubuntu and when I do this command I get better result in the name;
lsb_release -a

Hi.

Nope, it's fine. Your processor is an i686 (Pentium Pro and above), and the machine class is i386 (32bit PC). Anyone with an i686 PC will get the same output.
