Hi Marc,
This is the contents of my /etc/redhat-relase file:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update
2)
I'm not really sure what you mean by "assigned OSName"
but a <panel> with os="unix" name="Linux" and
arch="i386" currently works on my machine, though in
reality the arch should be "x86_64". Let me kow if I
can provide you with any further info.
Thanks,.
