btw, from working with this, I learned that Sun has decided to have their JDK returning the archicture identifier "amd64" instead of "x86_64" (even after the Intel announcements) . Anyone knows if there are any plans to rename the x86_64 identifier used for Linux architecture?
No plans at all. It's very unlikely that uname will change. The only thing that may change would be distribution branding (essentially what's printed on the CD and in "login"). But that is not critical because it's normally not parsed by any scripts. -Andi
