change shown name that is displayed with uname
I need to change what uname command displays, for example I want it to show "Linux Mrzk 3.2.0-31-generic MyLinux x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux" instead of "Linux Mrzk-PC 3.2.0-31-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 7 16:16:45 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux". the point is I want to compile my own kernel, so if there is a pre-compile steps needed, I can do it.
P.S.: I don't want to write a bash to call that instead of calling original uname command
Any help would be appreciated

The uname command itself offers options for what you want to have displayed. Look in uname --help
I think the option -smrpo comes close.Charles
