Hi All,

Originally, I had RH9 updated to kernel version 2.4.20-20.9 i386, however I
recently installed the i686 complied version of the kernel. The system does
seem to run much faster, however it still reports that the hardware platform
is i386 (when using "uname -i"). Is this correct? What version should it be
reporting given I'm running it on a AMD Duron?

Thanks guys!
