Hi William,

I had tried uname but it just gave me the linux kernel number and I 
couldn't find anything that would tie that to a beaglebone image. Thanks 
though.

That's the latest one I found on the images site 
(http://beagleboard.org/latest-images).  I'm not sure I want to use a test 
image.  Are they stable? Do they have a good reputation?
