A really quick look at the source for uname looks like it gets the info via sysctl, which I would think would match what the kernel would store in /proc/cpuinfo. But I could easily be wrong in a multitude of ways. > I prefer cat'ing cpuinfo since it tells me "Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU > 2.80GHz" and I really know what processor is installed.
