    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    uname -v or uname -a will give you the timestamp of the kernel build, yes. You can also look at /proc/version which also has this information. On my system, /proc/version contains this string:

    Linux version 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 (mockbuild@builder10.centos.org) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44)) #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 09:10:25 EDT 2009
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
