No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release:	9.10
Codename:	karmic
___


Well, there's all the major information about my dev machine... not the
greatest, but certainly not the worst. Been running karmic since Alpha
run... hunting down bugs etc and let me tell you... so far, I am very
pleasantly surprised by this release. I am also happy that this is going
to be an LTS release, (iirc) The only reason for the non-vendor kernel
is that I tend to be a bit quicker with my own supply than the
vendor. ;) any way, this version is quite nice, runs very smoothly for
an ALPHA and I'm glad that I'm contributing even if it is in my own
little way... have fun guys.
