On Mac OS X systems, "uname -a" gives the kernel version, but
not the OS version.  Here is how to get it:

%  sw_vers
ProductName:    Mac OS X Server
ProductVersion: 10.5.8
BuildVersion:   9L30

% uname -a
Darwin XXXXXX.math.utah.edu 9.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0: Wed Jul 15
16:55:01 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1228.15.4~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386 Xserve1,1
Darwin
