U in Uname Command

[WingedKnight]

Just something I've been puzzled by for a long time: What does the "u" in the "uname" command stand for? The "obvious" answer is "user", but that makes no sense given that the command returns information about the operating system rather than the user.

Wow, okay, that's so obvious I now feel silly asking the question. %-) I got confused because I work mostly with Linux boxes. Thanks for the quick reply.
