Hi, Should the script 'kernelver' from http://kernelnewbies.org/scripts/ not be As said on the main page of http:/www.kernel.org "August 21, 2003: Please don't use finger.kernel.org for any sort of automatic monitoring. The number of automatic bots hitting this port is causing the finger daemon to shut down more often than not. The same information is available from http://www.kernel.org/kdist/finger_banner." finger.kernel.org should not be used to retrieve kernels version. So, 'kernelver' script should be online on http://kernelnewbies.org/scripts/ ? Christophe
