I agree. Someone might not know the 'uname -a' output of their
machine. Solaris/SunOS comes to mind.

I've attached a patch that I think handles that and the extra space
you mentioned.

Here is what I see:

System information: Linux 6.8.11-300.fc40.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon May 27 14:53:33 UTC 2024 x86_64
