Conoscere la versione del kernel che si sta usando

Spesso e volentieri, magari durante il download di applicazioni per linux ci viene richiesto di conoscere quale versione del kernel linux stiamo usando.
Per soddisfare questa richiesta ci viene incontro il comando uname che può essere accompagnato da diverse opzioni.
Le opzioni base per conoscere ciò di cui abbiamo bisogno sono 'r' e 'm' quindi: uname -rm, da shell di comando, restituirà il seguente output (nel mio specifico caso):

2.6.32-32-generic  x86_64

Ovvero la release del sistema operativo (kernel) ed il tipo di piattaforma, nel nostro caso 64 bit.

Nota: il man ci sconsiglia l'uso dell'opzione 'm', suggerendoci la 'p'. Nel mio sistema Ubuntu Lucid, sul quale ho effettuato il test, utilizzando la p mi viene restituito unknown

Scam libico: Mr.Ibrahim Mohammed

Un altro esempio di scam libico, inviato da un sedicente Mr.Ibrahim Mohammed con indirizzo email: ibramod@indiatimes.com e ibramod@blumail.org.

Ecco il testo in inglese:

SALAMALEKUM,

Greetings in the name of Allah, the most beneficent, the most merciful.My name is Mr.Ibrahim Mohammed, a widower to Late Mrs. Aishat Mohammed
I am 66years old, presently I am suffering from long time cancer of the lunges, from all Indications, my condition is really deteriorating and i am very much afraid of my doctor?s report, infact my condition is very bad now,

My late wife was killed during the Libyan uprise,and during the period of our marriage we couldn't produce any child.The doctor has told me that I may not live beyond this year. Every new day is like a bonus to me.So now i have decided to divide part of this wealth, to contribute to the propagation of
the will of Allah and in assisting the less-privileged and all humanity in Africa and throughout the world, I discussed this with my lawyer,I am willing to donate part of the sum of US$18,000,000.00(Eighteen Million US Dollars) for the development of The holy work as well as a distribution to aid faithfuls and also for the less privileged, including orphans who lost their mothers through this deadly illness [cancer]no matter their faith.

Please I want you to note that, this fund is deposited in a Security Company. For that, my lawyer will file in application for the transfer of the money in your name as you wish provided you are ready to use part of this money for this purpose. You will therefore have to travel to sign for the official Release of this money as well as advice on how you want the money remitted to you own account. My Attorney will accompany you on this trip.

Lastly I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used for the said purpose because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without Allah is vanity upon vanity. For this reason I have decided to set-aside 40% of this money for the service of humanity and the work of Allah.


May the Grace of Allah be our guide and be my refuge when i leave this World. More so, I decided to offer you 30% While 20% will be transferred to the account of my Lawyer,as compensation after Successful Conclusion. The remaining 10% is to cover the expenses both from your side and the side of my Lawyer who will assist you until every thing is over.

A Swift acknowledgment of the receipt of this email would be appreciated.

All further response to this proposal should be communicated to this private

Yours in Allah,
Mr.Ibrahim Mohammed
